Happy Birthday, Herc!
 It's hard to believe it, but the mighty Lockheed C-130 Hercules is fifty years old! It rolled out on August 23, 1954 and it looks like it will be hauling trash for another fifty to come. Originally a tactical airlifter, the Herc has also seen duties as a special operations gunship, reconnaissance platform, refueler, medevac, psyops, even a bomber. Lockheed has built over 2,200 Hercules in Marrietta Georgia and today over sixty nations around the globe use her in seventy different variations. You can get to know the Herky Bird by starting with this Air Force Factsheet, but don't stop there! There are literally thousands of web pages and dozens of books in print about this venerable workhorse, easily one of the greatest aircraft ever made!
