C-130 Anniversary
Posted: Sat Aug 24, 2024 11:09 amHere's a little piece of aviation trivia.
Yesterday was the 70th anniversary of the first flight of the YC-130.
70 years later the type is still being manufactured...a tribute to the original design, and when you consider the number of variants, AC, DC, EC, HC,KC,LC,MC, SC and WC,this proves that the design is truly adaptable.
C-17 production has stopped and I can't see the A400M having the same production run.
So, happy birthday Hercules and I'm sure there will be many more.
Thanks for looking folks.
