NZ has just retired its long-serving C-130 Hercules - if we were heading south in December after the C-17s had finished for the year we'd often take a C-130. Apart from the liberal application of duct tape I always like the trip even if it was a little cosy and had even worse windows than the C17s - it was just nice having Kiwi aircrew looking after us. #Antarctica #C130

people approaching a C-130 Hercules - it is a rainy day. The aircraft has 03 painted on its nose. The people have black and orange jackets and green bags. They are entering a small hatch in the aircraft side.
The inside of a military aircraft hold - it is tight packed with people. There are green bags and the people are wearing face masks.

Fire Aviation · Cal Fire will finally get its C-130s - Fire AviationCal Fire is now one big step closer to getting seven military transport planes from the Coast Guard to fight fire after Congress passed legislation this week to speed up the transfer.According to a Politico report, the National Defense Reauthorization Act contains language to expedite the legal  transfer of seven C-130 aircraft from the Coast Guard to Cal Fire. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Minnesota’s 133rd Airlift Wing was selected to receive 8 new C-130J aircraft; the new C-130Js will replace decades-old C-130H aircraft, which were supposed to have been transferred over to California years ago.
