The C-130 Hercules is a really big aircraft created by USA
near 40 years ago. This plane
is one of the best machines created ever, it cat go as fast as 600 kilometres
per hour and is able to charge twenty thousand kilos.
Furthermore,
this plane can travel almost 4.000 kilometres without landing.
It is used
by most of occidental countries, to transport different types of freight like
armament, provisions, vehicles, fuel or even people. In Spain is often used to
transport paratroopers from different units like Brigada Paracaidista or even
EZAPAC.
The aircrew
goes at the cockpit, where they must manage the whole aircraft. The pilot is
not the only one that must be aware of what happens on the plane, another pilot
and a mechanic have to inform him about other things like the fuselage, the
situation of the gear or other problems that can happen in the air.
To sum up,
this amazing machine, C-130 Hercules, is one of the most incredible inventions made
by humans that is been used by a lot of armies around the whole for years in different
missions.
