«C-130J»
The C-130 Hercules is a US four-engine turboprop transport family used for tactical airlift and specialised missions. The later C-130J introduced new engines and a digital flight deck; the family also includes stretched transports, tankers and AC-130 gunship derivatives.
Crew refers to a standard C-130J transport with two pilots and one loadmaster, not every mission variant. Length, weights and performance are omitted rather than mixing standard and stretched J-30 figures.
