BIO:

The C-130 Hercules is the ultimate transport aircraft in service with over 60 countries around the globe, and since its conception in 1951, has remained in production to the current day. The C-130 is a highly-reliable quad-turboprop medium range transport, able to carry 30,000 pounds of virtually any type of cargo up to 1500 nautical miles. Able to take off within less than 250 meters fully-loaded with jet-assisted-take-off rocket packs, the C-130 can be delpoyed virtually anywhere. It has seen service in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and with U.N. peace-keepers throughout the world. It has been reconfigured into many variants including the infamous AC-130 Spectre gunship, the EC-130 electronic surveillance aircraft, the KC-130 medium tanker, and even has taken shape as the LC-130 polar regions transport aircraft. It also sees use throughout the civilian aviation scene as a freight transport and "storm chaser" weather research platform.
