One of the oldest large cargo planes that form part of the Spanish armament is called C-130, commonly known as Hercules. It was first manufactured in 1950 by the British and introduced in our Air Forces around 1970´s.
Nowadays, it is believed that all aircraft have the same structure and characteristics, however, planes are designed in order to be destined to do a certain purpose.
On these terms, Hercules is a turboprop engine plane, composed of the wings, which are attached to the fuselage, the cockpit behind its nose and the tail, which is located at the bottom and supports the vertical and horizontal stabilizers of the plane.
Despite the most typical facts, the C-130 is different from others as it is still being produced after being designed fifty years ago. For this reason, the prototype has been altered in some aspects due to being at the level of new aircraft which are constantly introducing design improvements.
To sum up, I would like to say that the experience and the amazing feelings that you may have while flying above the ground like that can only be reached by this incredible aircraft.
