That's a C-17 but you're correct, the C-130 Hercules and the C-130J Super Hercules (upgrade) are both still very much in commission. The C-130 Hercules has been operational non-stop for 70 years. Great planes for touch-and-goes and using Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO) bottles they can make some amazing short runway takeoffs.

They are huge aircraft in terms of storage, but they are nimble.
