{{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]].
