Had the opportunity in 1974 after 2 week active training to work as temperary help with NHANG for 3 months of my summer school break. Was amazed at learning how versatile an aircraft the C-130 was. Best summer job I ever could imagine.

The C-130 series began as a 1951 requirement for a military transport with Short Take-Off and Landing capabilities. The series was born as the YC-130 and performed well in the latter part of 1954 with its Allison three-bladed turboprop engines. With successes encountered throughout the war in Vietnam and furthermore in peacetime, the C-130 Hercules spawned a plethora of variants that would include special forces insertion, arctic patrol, meteorological research, communications, close-support and modernized variants of the base transport.
