Day in the Life of the RCAF: CC-130H Hercules - Episode 14
Welcome to the final episode of Skies’ Day in the Life of the RCAF series, which ran all throughout 2024 to celebrate the Air Force’s centennial.
In this episode, we explore one of the RCAF’s primary search-and-rescue aircraft types, the CC-130H Hercules. While the Herc is also used for transport missions, its main focus is saving lives.
This massive aircraft can carry roughly 80 passengers, can operate on short, unpaved runways, and has a range of more than 7,200 kilometres.
In this video, hear from 435 Squadron about their day-to-day operations with the CC-130H Hercules.
The Skies team would like to once again congratulate the RCAF on 100 years of service. We ran this Day in the Life of the RCAF TH-cam series all throughout 2024 to highlight the vital missions of our Air Force and the extraordinary individuals who make it all possible. Here’s to the next 100.

    • @somebloke13
      @somebloke13 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think that may be a Pratt and Whitney engine as it has a 4 blade prop. The Bristol engine uses a 5 blade.

    • @MrMan5014
      @MrMan5014 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ pretty much all Tempests had 4 blades and that is most definitely a Bristol Centaurus engine…most of the Fury’s had 5…some of the Typhoons had 4 and early ones had 3…look at historical photos of Tempests and you will find they pretty much all had 4 blades…

    I could never understand, how a country, as Sweden, with about 1/4 of the population of Canada, can develop cutting-edge fighters as the Gripen and the most quiet, and ergo, 'deadliest' submarine in the world, the Gotlsnd class and Bleking class, yet Canada, not having the will and means (or funding?) to do similar?

      I just looked it up, Changes were made several years earlier. Chapter 2, Section 2 of the Canadian Forces Dress Instructions. As long as hair doesn't interfere with a headdress or a helmet, you could have dreads as long as they don't fall below the collar, 1" earlobe spacers, and a tattoo of a little unicorn on your neck, as long as the tattoo cannot be considered a hateful or disrespectful symbol, or one of criminality. When you look at who runs the country, the changing of the standards of dress in the CAF doesn't surprise me. The undergarments section is truncated and right to the point too... Gitch is optional 😂

    That's my baby. Another chap and I wrote the original specs for the training system in the airplane. The development was a rocky road and it took several years to get it done. Eventually got to pick up the first airplane from de Havilland and take it home to Winnipeg. The stuff in the back was pretty cutting-edge at the time and that caused some of the problems. Glad to see it's been updated and remains relevant to today's needs! Might just of been at least partially responsible for the "Gonzo" title. 🙂
