Hercules C130J
A C130J Hercules transport aircraft operated by the Royal Air Force is pictured flying over the Norwegian countryside.
The RAF has a total of 25 C-130J C4/C5 aircraft. The C4 is almost the same size as the current C3 aircraft, but with a slightly shorter fuselage, while the C5 is the same size as the C1.
The C-130J has been modified and upgraded to include new Allison AE turboprop engines and Dowty Aerospace six-bladed composite propellers.
The new engines and advanced propellers, coupled with a new digital engine-control system, give the C-130J increased take-off thrust and better fuel efficiency; thus the external fuel tanks have been omitted

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a Royal Air Force (RAF) C-130J Hercules transport aircraft soars over the picturesque Norwegian countryside. The RAF is the proud operator of 25 C-130J C4 and C5 variants, with the C4 being almost identical in size to the existing C3 model, but featuring a slightly shorter fuselage, while the C5 retains the same dimensions as the C1. The C-130J Hercules has undergone significant modifications and upgrades, making it a more advanced and efficient aircraft. These enhancements include the integration of new Allison AE2100D3 turboprop engines and Dowty Aerospace six-bladed composite propellers. The combination of these new components and a state-of-the-art digital engine-control system results in increased take-off thrust and improved fuel efficiency. Consequently, the need for external fuel tanks has been eliminated, streamlining the aircraft's design and reducing its overall weight. The C-130J Hercules continues to be a vital asset for the RAF, providing versatile military transport capabilities with unparalleled performance and reliability. Its ability to operate from unpaved runways and short airstrips makes it an indispensable tool for delivering equipment and personnel to remote locations, ensuring the success of various military operations. This photograph encapsulates the power and grace of this remarkable aircraft as it effortlessly traverses the Norwegian landscape, leaving a trail of excellence in its wake.
