Military transport aircraft

Aircraft that carry troops, vehicles, supplies and paratroopers, and fly disaster relief and medical evacuation missions. Many can land on short, rough runways.
The C-130 Hercules has been in service since the 1950s and is flown by around 70 countries. In disasters such as floods and tsunamis, transport aircraft are often the first help to arrive.
