The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four engine turboprop military transport aircraft with numerous variants, appearing in a flashback during the Pazuzu Arc.
History[]
After being recruited by Lehm to destroy a chemical weapons plant in northern Iraq, Wiley and the Delta Force team escorting him were flown by C-130 to a base in Turkey. From here they were flown by Black Hawk to a mountain overlooking the plant.
Anime and manga differences[]
In the anime, the variant of the C-130 that appears is the MC-130E Combat Talon I. When Lehm shows Wiley a reconnaissance photo of the plant, their sole intelligence on it, his flabbergasted response briefly causes the MC-130 to lose altitude. After they disembark, the MC-130 is preparing to leave the base.
