MC-130E/H COMBAT TALON I/II SPECIAL OPERATIONS INFILTRATION/EXTRACTION VARIANT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Information from Internet Encyclopedia THE LOCKHEED C-130 HERCULES IS A FOUR-ENGINE TURBOPROP MILITARY TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT DESIGNED AND BUILT ORIGINALLY BY LOCKHEED, NOW LOCKHEED MARTIN. CAPABLE OF USING UNPREPARED RUNWAYS FOR TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS, THE C-130 WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED AS A TROOP, MEDICAL EVACUATION, AND CARGO TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT. THE VERSATILE AIRFRAME HAS FOUND USES IN A VARIETY OF OTHER ROLES, INCLUDING AS A GUNSHIP (AC-130), FOR AIRBORNE ASSAULT, SEARCH AND RESCUE, SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH SUPPORT, WEATHER RECONNAISSANCE, AERIAL REFUELING, MARITIME PATROL, AND AERIAL FIREFIGHTING. IT IS NOW THE MAIN TACTICAL AIRLIFTER FOR MANY MILITARY FORCES WORLDWIDE. OVER 40 MODELS AND VARIANTS OF THE HERCULES SERVE WITH MORE THAN 60 NATIONS. THE KC-130 TANKERS, ORIGINALLY C-130FS PROCURED FOR THE US MARINE CORPS (USMC) IN 1958 (UNDER THE DESIGNATION GV-1) ARE EQUIPPED WITH A REMOVABLE 3,600 US GAL (13,626 L) STAINLESS STEEL FUEL TANK CARRIED INSIDE THE CARGO COMPARTMENT. THE TWO WING-MOUNTED HOSE AND DROGUE AERIAL REFUELING PODS EACH TRANSFER UP TO 300 US GAL PER MINUTE (19 L PER SECOND) TO TWO AIRCRAFT SIMULTANEOUSLY, ALLOWING FOR RAPID CYCLE TIMES OF MULTIPLE-RECEIVER AIRCRAFT FORMATIONS, (A TYPICAL TANKER FORMATION OF FOUR AIRCRAFT IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES). THE US NAVY'S C-130G HAS INCREASED STRUCTURAL STRENGTH ALLOWING HIGHER GROSS WEIGHT OPERATION. THE MC-130E COMBAT TALON WAS DEVELOPED FOR THE USAF DURING THE VIETNAM WAR TO SUPPORT SPECIAL OPERATIONS MISSIONS THROUGHOUT SOUTHEAST ASIA, AND SPAWNED BOTH AN MC-130H COMBAT TALON II AS WELL AS A FAMILY OF OTHER SPECIAL MISSIONS AIRCRAFT. 37 OF THE EARLIEST MODELS CURRENTLY OPERATING WITH THE AIR FORCE SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND (AFSOC) ARE SCHEDULED TO BE REPLACED BY NEW-PRODUCTION MC-130J VERSIONS. THE EC-130 COMMANDO SOLO IS ANOTHER SPECIAL MISSIONS VARIANT WITHIN AFSOC, ALBEIT OPERATED SOLELY BY AN AFSOC-GAINED WING IN THE PENNSYLVANIA AIR NATIONAL GUARD, AND IS A PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS/INFORMATION OPERATIONS (PSYOP/IO) PLATFORM EQUIPPED AS AN AERIAL RADIO STATION AND TELEVISION STATIONS ABLE TO TRANSMIT MESSAGING OVER COMMERCIAL FREQUENCIES. OTHER VERSIONS OF THE EC-130, MOST NOTABLY THE EC-130H COMPASS CALL, ARE ALSO SPECIAL VARIANTS, BUT ARE ASSIGNED TO THE AIR COMBAT COMMAND (ACC). THE AC-130 GUNSHIP WAS FIRST DEVELOPED DURING THE VIETNAM WAR TO PROVIDE CLOSE AIR SUPPORT AND OTHER GROUND-ATTACK DUTIES. THE HC-130 IS A FAMILY OF LONG-RANGE SEARCH AND RESCUE VARIANTS USED BY THE USAF AND THE U.S. COAST GUARD. EQUIPPED FOR DEEP DEPLOYMENT OF PARARESCUEMEN (PJS), SURVIVAL EQUIPMENT, AND (IN THE CASE OF USAF VERSIONS) AERIAL REFUELING OF COMBAT RESCUE HELICOPTERS, HC-130S ARE USUALLY THE ON-SCENE COMMAND AIRCRAFT FOR COMBAT SAR MISSIONS (USAF ONLY) AND NON-COMBAT SAR (USAF AND USCG). EARLY USAF VERSIONS WERE ALSO EQUIPPED WITH THE FULTON SURFACE-TO-AIR RECOVERY SYSTEM, DESIGNED TO PULL A PERSON OFF THE GROUND USING A WIRE STRUNG FROM A HELIUM BALLOON. THE JOHN WAYNE MOVIE THE GREEN BERETS FEATURES ITS USE. THE FULTON SYSTEM WAS LATER REMOVED WHEN AERIAL REFUELING OF HELICOPTERS PROVED SAFER AND MORE VERSATILE. THE MOVIE THE PERFECT STORM DEPICTS A REAL LIFE SAR MISSION INVOLVING AERIAL REFUELING OF A NEW YORK AIR NATIONAL GUARD HH-60G BY A NEW YORK AIR NATIONAL GUARD HC-130P. THE C-130R AND C-130T ARE U.S. NAVY AND USMC MODELS, BOTH EQUIPPED WITH UNDERWING EXTERNAL FUEL TANKS. THE USN C-130T IS SIMILAR, BUT HAS ADDITIONAL AVIONICS IMPROVEMENTS. IN BOTH MODELS, AIRCRAFT ARE EQUIPPED WITH ALLISON T56-A-16 ENGINES. THE USMC VERSIONS ARE DESIGNATED KC-130R OR KC-130T WHEN EQUIPPED WITH UNDERWING REFUELING PODS AND PYLONS AND ARE FULLY NIGHT VISION SYSTEM COMPATIBLE.
