C-130J SUPER HERCULES
The Marines’ new KC-130J, which is replacing the aging KC-130 tankers, is part of the next generation aerial refueling tanker aircraft. The new aircraft is part of the Marine Corps transformational efforts to increase speed, persistence, precision, and reach to project capabilities over longer distances. The KC-130J is a comprehensive update of the venerable Lockheed KC-130 Hercules, with new engines, flight deck, and other systems. The Hercules family has the longest continuous production run of any military aircraft in history. During more than 50 years of service, the family has participated in military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations.
