C130JC-130s now have digital flight decks, and six-bladed composite propellers. At least the C-130Js do. More here in the latest from Michael Yon in Afghanistan.

    Yes, one tough airship, that.

    Especially considering how old it is. Not as old as the B-52, but close.

    Years ago in Special Forces training, we had to setup primative landing strips for C130’s and other aircraft. It’s truely an amazing work horse.

    I expect, if they ever replace it, will be with something so similar that it appears to be the same.
