Abstract
- A U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules aircraft recently completed a record-breaking flight from Texas to Guam, showcasing its long-range capabilities. The flight, which lasted 26 hours and 33 minutes, included a fuel stop in Hawaii. The C-130J used external fuel tanks to extend its range, allowing it to fly farther without refueling. The aircraft will now participate in exercises focused on refueling and deployments in remote areas, as well as transporting U.S. Marines to strategically important locations.
