Been thinking randomly here.

Is there any replacement for the C130 anywhere?

Specifically, for short/rough-field use?

I mean, hell. C130s nearly 50, ain't it?


the A model is, however a new shiny C-130J is available. I think the
C130 will be flying for a long time.

it appears to have the durability of a pickup truck.


The last crew to deliver a B52 to Davis-Monthan for disposal will fly home
in a C130 - think about that :-)
