Background Information
The Lockheed Martin C-130J-30 Super Hercules is a stretched variant of the renowned C-130J tactical transport aircraft. Designed for increased cargo capacity and improved performance, the C-130J-30 features a longer fuselage and updated avionics, engines, and propellers compared to its predecessors. Its enhanced range, speed, and payload make it ideal for a variety of military missions including airlift, humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and aerial refueling.
The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has been operating the C-130 Hercules series since the 1950s and currently uses the C-130J-30 as part of its air mobility fleet. The aircraft is operated by No. 37 Squadron based at RAAF Base Richmond in New South Wales. With its proven reliability and versatility, the Super Hercules plays a key role in Australia's defense operations, supporting missions domestically and across the Asia-Pacific region.
The C-130J-30 incorporates modern digital avionics, a glass cockpit, and advanced navigation and communication systems. Powered by four Rolls-Royce AE 2100D3 turboprop engines, it delivers excellent performance in tough conditions and unprepared airstrips. Its ability to carry up to 128 troops or 92 paratroopers, or various combinations of vehicles and equipment, makes it one of the most valuable tactical transport aircraft in service today.
