The boys in Hartford are getting new airplanes (sadly not till 2011) and yours truly has been put on the list of possibles to help them get on their feet in the cargo world. Very cool little airplane, what do you think?

Thats Fuckin Bad Asss!!!! now whats the cargo limit on these?? anything like the C130's?

Batman · #6 12-09-2009, 10:53 AM

it is just about exactly 1/2 a C-130, it is a little tiny thing, 25,353 pounds is the cargo limit. It is a special forces/close air support aircraft. Now supposedly there is also going to be an AC-27 Gunship too.......hmmmmm

Kool! They kind of look like the old C-160 Transall's. Sort of a baby Hercules!

Designed by a European company but will be built in Florida, The Herc is great but they aren't hiring right now in the ANG. I won't leave the C-5 unless they kill it or I get a full time slot somewhere else

Alot of it's parts are taken right off the C-130J , it is pretty much 1/2 a Herc. The avionics are all from the J model, the engines, alot of the cargo stuff, all off the J-model 130
