The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. Capable of takeoffs and landings from unprepared runways, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medical evacuation, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship, for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol and aerial firefighting. It is the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. Over 40 models and variants of the Hercules serve with more than 50 nations. On 13 December 1971 the 172nd converted to the C-130E Hercules aircraft. In 1980 the 172nd received the latest version of the Hercules, the C-130H, the ultra-modern model. After 27 years in the business, the 172nd finally received a brand new, factory-fresh aircraft. On 12 July 1986 the 172TAG transistioned the first C-141B Starlifter to be released from Air Force control arrived at Allen C.
