WHO MAKES THE C-130 MILITARY TRANSPORT PLANE AND HOW MANY HAVE BEEN MADE SO FAR?

1. Good article on the C130. But when you mentioned who uses them you left out the USCG. They have transported, supplies and search and rescue. I have been in many different C130’s in the Coast Guard. They are great planes but very noisy.

   1. Thank you, Michael, I’ve been in them a bunch as well, and they’re loud and uncomfortable 😐 I had someone else tell me that the USMC uses them, but when I looked into it further, it turned out that they operate the KC-130, and not the standard transport version (C-130J). I didn’t find any mention of the USCG flying the C-130Js, and instead, they fly the HC-130J, which is a Long-Range SAR aircraft. Could you have flown in those, or could the USCG have flown C-130Js in the past but don’t any longer?
