The '''Lockheed C-130 Hercules''' is a four engine turboprop military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. It is the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide.


{{infobox Aircraft
Over 40 models and variants of the Hercules serve with more than 50 nations. In December 2006 the C-130 became the fifth aircraft — after the [[English Electric Canberra]], [[Boeing B-52|B-52 Stratofortress]], Tupolev Tu-95, and [[Boeing KC-135E|KC-135 Stratotanker]] — to mark 50 years of continuous use with its original primary customer, in this case, the United States Air Force. The C-130 is also the only military aircraft to remain in continuous production for 50 years with its original customer, as the updated [[Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules|C-130J Super Hercules]].

=== Air to Air Refueling ===
The C-130 is capable of receiving fuel by  [[Howto: Air-Air Refueling|air-to-air refueling]] (AAR). You can do AAR by lining up behind the tanker and coming in contact with it as you would with any other AAR aircraft.
