The C-130J Super Hercules
is a big upgrade from the other C-130 models. It can carry more cargo faster
and
higher. This one is part of the 146th Airlift Group of the California
Air National Guard. It is used to support fire-fighting missions as
well as other cargo duties as needed. This particular C-130J is one of
the newest C-130s in service and performed a demonstration of the fire
fighting capabilities of the aircraft with a drop of fire retardant.
