I haven’t seen too many types of these beautiful military planes flying around on the live server at all:)
It’s first flight was on April 1996, with its launch followed in 1999: it’s still currently in service by the USAF, and the USMC. India and the UK also use the C130. In fact, NZ is already in the process of buying 5, so the C130 isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It’s a very beautiful turboprop, and I’d love to see glass cockpits, and redesigned liveries and physics.
