Lockheed C-130 Hercules

@Morris_Better24 There it is!

@C130TheHerc Mission top secret, destination unknown

Your first ride in a C-130, where did you go?

@CPLBeattyD2005 @EBitt24 🫡

@C130TheHerc @EBitt24 Iraq and I need to give a shout-out to all the pilots of the @C130TheHerc because you guys don't get enough credit for getting troops on the ground while being shot at! Mad respect RAH!

Must be Alaska... That beautiful C-130 though. Chef's Kiss!

@BFlanigan14 @SGTWipper1Each Well hello there!

@SGTWipper1Each If you act now, you can be my 7th follower :)

I will follow any and every United States Veteran that I see on this platform. Don't be shy. Sometimes I don't see you follow me, so speak up and I'll fix it. For those that care about "ratio," I had a lot of randoms follow me when I was heavy into posting videos. Don't be afraid to follow me first, I'm not a jerk, I WILL follow you back.

@RLeguerrie5612 18th Airborne! Nice!

@C130TheHerc Out the door.

C-130 creates insane water effect with props. This is during a touch-and-go in the rain at Eindhoven Air Base. What are the physics behind this?

@VJFazzino WC-130?

@C130TheHerc into a freakin hurricane 😳

@clouseau92 @SGTWipper1Each AATW!

@C130TheHerc @SGTWipper1Each Ft Benning in jump school

@rjmatteis Airborne!

@C130TheHerc From the air base to the drop zone at Ft. Benning, GA. It was my first jump at jump school in 1974.

LOOP TIME! This is the LM-100J, the civilian variant of the C-130J Super Hercules. What is your first thought?

@RC135V NP2000 for the win! Shorter takeoff distance, less vibration, quieter cabin.

@C130TheHerc 8-bladed prop!

No runway? No problem! The C-130 is designed to operate without traditional runways, landing on unprepared surfaces like dirt, gravel, sand, snow, and highways. Rugged landing gear, high-mounted engines, and ability to reverse thrust enable landings in as little as 3,000 ft

Good morning! What’s your favorite nickname for the C-130?

@1oldcurmudgeon Feared by all.

@C130TheHerc AC-130. No question.

What’s your favorite C-130 variant?

@jenne_8 Mission Top Secret!

A beautiful pair of C-130s conducting a training sortie near Fort Huachuca, AZ. US Air Force C-130J from 40th Airlift Squadron and Royal New Zealand C-130J from No. 40 Squadron. 12 AUG 2025 For those of you who've flown in a C-130... how's the ride?
