A large military transport jet is carrying out training around Newquay this morning. The RAF has confirmed that the C-130J Hercules aircraft will be operating in the area engaged in "routine, essential, training".
The Lockheed C-130J Hercules is one of ten owned by the Royal Air Force and is primarily used to transport military personnel and equipment. The aircraft is highly flexible, with the ability to airdrop a variety of stores and paratroopers, and operate from natural surface landing zones.
In order to conduct these missions, the aircraft crews are skilled at low-level flying and so they can be easily spotted from the ground. According to the RAF website, the Hercules C-130J is the air force's primary tactical transport aircraft. It says: "Its current C.Mk 4 and C.Mk 5 versions of the C-130J-30 and C-130J, respectively, has been the backbone of UK operational tactical mobility tasks since it was brought into service in 1999.
"It is frequently employed to operate into countries or regions where there is a threat to aircraft; its performance, tactics and defensive systems make it the ideal platform for such tasks. The aircraft is highly flexible, with the ability to airdrop a variety of stores and paratroopers, and operate from natural surface landing zones.
"To conduct these missions it is vital that Hercules crews are highly skilled in low-level flying. The aircraft performs in the same roles at night using night-vision goggles (NVGs), while station keeping equipment (SKE) enables it to remain in formation during poor weather.
"Long-range capabilities are enhanced with air-to-air refuelling, while the Air Survival Rescue Apparatus may be mounted in the cabin for search and rescue missions, enabling the Hercules to airdrop life rafts and emergency supplies."
