BACKGROUND Four decades have elapsed since the Air Force issued its original design specifications, yet the remarkable C-130 remains in production. the initial production model was the C-130A, with four Allison T56-A-11 or 9 turboprops. A total of 21 9 were ordered and deliveries began in December 1956. Two DC-130A's (originally GC-130A's) were built as drone launchers/directors, carry up to four drones on underwing pylons. All special equipment was removable, permitting the aircraft to be used as freighters, assault transports, or ambulances. The C-130B's introduced Allison T56-A-7 turboprops and the first 134 entered Air Force service in April 1959. C-130B's are used in aerial fir fighting missions by Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve units. Six C-130B's were modified in 1961 for snatch recovery of classified U.S. Air Force satellites by the 6593rd Test Squadron at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. FEATURES In its personnel carrier role, the C-130 can accommodate 92 combat troops or 64 fully equipped paratroops on side-facing seats. For medical evacuations, it carries 74 litter patient and two medical attendants. Paratroopers exit the aircraft through two doors on either side of the aircraft behind the landing-gear fairings. Another exit is off the rear ramp for airdrops. The C-130 Hercules joins on mercy flights throughout the world, bringing in food, clothing, shelter, doctors, nurses and medical supplies and moving victims to safety. The C-130 Hercules have served other nation, airlifting heavy equipment into remote areas to build airports and roads, search for ail, and transport local goods. As a partial response to the overwhelming role played by the tactical airlift fleet in Operation Just Cause and in the Persian Gulf War, Congress has approved the procurement of more C-130H's to replace the aging E models.
