	Lockheed C-130 - Wikipedia
		Die Lockheed C-130 Hercules der Lockheed Corporation ist eines der vielseitigsten militärischen Transportflugzeuge.
		Auch eine zivile Frachtversion wurde von der Hercules hergestellt, die L-100.
		Obwohl die Erprobung auf der Forrestal erfolgreich verlief, entschied sich die Navy später, ein kleineres Transportflugzeug für den Trägereinsatz in Auftrag zu geben (die spätere C-2 Greyhound), da man die Operationen mit der C-130 schließlich doch als zu risikoreich ansah.

		The Lockheed C-130 Hercules, a four-engine turboprop aircraft, is the main tactical air transport aircraft of the United States military forces.
		The C-130H-30 is a stretched version of the original Hercules, achieved by inserting a 2.54 m plug aft of the cockpit and a 2.03 m plug at the rear of the fuselage.
		While externally virtually undistinguishable from the classic Hercules the J model is a radically different aircraft "under the skin." These differences include new Rolls-Royce Allison AE2100 turobprops with composite propellers, digital avionics, reduced manpower requirements, increased reliability and up to 27% lower operating costs.

	Lockheed C-130 Hercules
		Currently, the Hercules primarily performs the intratheater portion of the tactical airlift mission.
		The Hercules can also be committed for airdrops of troops or equipment and for LAPES (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System) delivery of heavy cargoes.
		When one reviews the encyclopedic range of accomplishments by the C-130 Hercules and its valiant aircrews over the years, surely one of the most astounding took place in October of 1963 when the U.S. Navy successfully landed a Marine Corps KC-130 on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

	New Scientist Breaking News - Video of Hercules air attack is 'bogus'
		The Royal Air Force C-130 Hercules crashed 40 kilometres north-west of Baghdad at 1340 GMT on Sunday, killing all 10 military personnel on board.
		Defence experts say the wreckage seen in the video shown is consistent with that of a Hercules C-130, but dismiss the rest of the video as a crude propaganda attempt.
		Military officials say the debris from the plane was strewn over a large area, consistent with an explosion at approximately 4000 metres - the altitude at which the Hercules was known to be flying.
