C- 130 Hercules
The C-130 Hercules is a large transport aircraft. The C-5 is bigger, but the Hercules is important because it is less expensive and cheaper to operate. The C-130 Hercules is used for transporting things long distances. It doesn't carry as much equipment as the C-5 but the military uses it a lot. The Blue Angels call their C-130, "Fat Albert". It carries all the supporting personnel and equipment, other than the Blue Angel planes. The Hercules is also used for monitoring weather. The C-130 is a plane that scientists from the Air Force use to find out more about hurricanes. These planes are called hurricane hunters. There is also a C-130 Hercules gunship which is totally awesome and is loaded with lots of weapons. The U.S. National Guard also uses it for search and rescue. The Hercules has many uses and is an all around great airplane.
