Of those flights, 12 (8.3%) carry at least one detected incident — go-around, unstable approach, stall warning, or runway excursion. The Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules ; Lockheed has a 133 ft wingspan, a maximum takeoff weight of 155,000 lb. The Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules represents the latest evolution of the world's most successful military airlifter, a design lineage stretching back to 1954. Introduced in 1999, the J-model brought transformational upgrades to the venerable Hercules platform: Rolls-Royce AE 2100D3 turboprops driving six-blade composite propellers, a digital glass cockpit, and enhanced performance that reduced crew requirements from five to three while delivering 40 percent greater range and 21 percent higher cruise speed than legacy C-130s. The Super Hercules can operate from unprepared dirt strips as short as 3,000 feet, haul 42,000 pounds of cargo, and perform tactical airdrops at altitudes down to 250 feet above ground level—capabilities that make it indispensable for everything from humanitarian relief to special operations insertion. More than 500 C-130Js have been delivered to operators in over 20 nations, including the U.S. Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, the Royal Air Force, and the Royal Australian Air Force. The type holds the distinction of being the only Western airlifter continuously in production for seven decades, with Lockheed's Marietta, Georgia facility still building new airframes today. Its combat-proven versatility spans roles from tactical airlift and aerial refueling to gunship (AC-130J) and weather reconnaissance (WC-130J) variants, cementing its status as the backbone of allied tactical mobility. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
