WINGS OF A TITAN: C-130 HERCULES

Commemorative print celebrating the C-130 Hercules in RAAF service from 1958 to 2023.

The ubiquitous Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport has been a durable workhorse since design in the 1950s. Australia was the first international Hercules customer in 1958 replacing the RAAF’s ageing C-47 Dakota fleet with twelve C-130A models. The transport has become an invaluable asset for military and relief operations in delivering troops, equipment, and humanitarian aid.

Wings of a Titan includes the aircraft’s namesake, Hercules, god of strength from Greek and Roman mythology. The legendary figure is surrounded by all four C-130 variants operated by the RAAF in 65 years of operations from 1958 to 2023, and beyond.

• C-130A, A97-205,
• C-130E, A97-159 and A97-189,
• C-130H, A97-006
• C-130J-30, A97-450.

36 SQN RAAF and 37 SQN RAAF have been Australia’s primary frontline C-130 operators over the six decades with the latter assuming sole responsibility in 2006.
