YOGYAKARTA In this article, the specifications of the Super Hercules C-130J aircraft brought in by the Indonesian Air Force from Lockheed Martin Aerospace, United States.
The plane departed from the United States since February 28, 2023 and arrived at Halim Perdana Kusuma Air Base (Lanud) on Monday, March 6, 2023.
The arrival of the Super Hercules plane was greeted directly by Deputy Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Air Force (Wakasau) Marsdya TNI Agustinus Gustaf Brugman accompanied by Commander of Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base Colonel Pnb Adrian P. Damanik.
The C-130J Super Hercules plane landed at around 13.08 and was greeted with a water salute tradition. Agustinus Gustaf then greeted the seven crew members who got off with a series of flowers.
The seven crew consist of two pilots and two loadmasters from the Lockheed Martin manufacturer. Meanwhile, the other three crew members are two Indonesian Air Force pilot pilots, namely Commander of Squadron 31 Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base Lt. Col. Pnb Anjoe Manik, Lt. Col. Aviation Alfonsus, and Captain Tek Janar as flight engineer.
Agustinus reiterated that Super Hercules was chosen to strengthen the Indonesian Air Force because its previous generations have proven its quality, especially in the need for landing on the runway, which is in less than optimal condition.
"It has been proven that this C-130 aircraft was prepared for unprepared runways. For example, yesterday the disaster in Central Sulawesi and its runway was unpredictable, this (airplane) could land," Agustinus said at a press conference welcoming Super Hercules, quoting Antara.
Moreover, Super Hercules C-130J-30 has advantages in the form of an integrated avionic system and more efficient machines.
"So he can fly further and the speed is good," he added.
Adapted from a press release from the Indonesian Air Force Information Service, the C-30J-30 Super Hercules aircraft is equipped with a more sophisticated flight station and a fully integrated digital avionic system.
This aircraft can fly carrying a cargo load weighing 20 tons. In addition, large aircraft spaces can carry 8 pallets or 97 stretchers, 128 combat troops, and 97 parachuting troops.
Super Hercules C-130J aircraft are also packed with a number of features, such as enhanced fuel protection features, as well as an upgraded cargo handling system.
"Although it is relatively the same shape as the hercules aircraft that used to be, it (C-130J Super Hercules) has advantages in aircraft avionics that have been integrated and more efficient engines," said Agustinus.
According to Military Today, this aircraft is the latest production version of C-130 Hercules replacing C-130H.
