The Lockheed C-130 Hercules first flew in 1954 and has since become one of the most successful and enduring military transport aircraft in history. The C-130H, introduced in the 1970s, featured upgraded engines and improved avionics, enhancing range and payload capacity. The aircraft has been used in countless roles, including troop transport, medical evacuation, cargo delivery, and humanitarian missions. Operated by over 60 nations, including the United States and South Korea, the Hercules has served in virtually every major conflict and relief operation since its introduction.
