C-130
Cargo plane workhorse
The C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft manufactured by Lockheed Martin, first flown in 1954 and still in production, making it one of the longest-running military aircraft programs in history.
Known for its versatility and rugged reliability, the C-130 can operate from short, unpaved runways and performs roles including troop transport, cargo hauling, aerial refueling, firefighting, and humanitarian relief.
The C-130 delivered supplies to the remote airstrip.
