Entering service as far back as 1956, the C-130 Hercules is the longest continuously produced military aircraft and has served with many countries throughout the world. This versatile aircraft has been a military transport, firefighting aircraft, missile platform and humanitarian supply aircraft in a multitude of roles. Among its notable achievements is a record set in 1963 for the largest and heaviest aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier.

Tribute to the Lockheed C-130 Hercules by Ivan Berryman.		 As the Libyan people's uprising against Colonel Gadaffi's regime intensified at the end of February 2011, many British nationals found themselves isolated in the sprawling desert, many of them oil workers in some of the country's most remote areas. As Libya deteriorated into rebellion, British Special Forces were dispatched to pluck the stranded workers from the desert and fly them to the safety of Malta. Here, an RAF Lockheed C130 Hercules climbs away from a successful pickup on a remote airstrip. In total, two operations involving five Hercules aircraft rescued over 300 British nationals and other foreign workers.
