  2. Lockheed C-130E, Pakistan Air Force. The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is one of the most widely used transport aircraft in the world. Built by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin), the type first flew in 1954, almost SEVENTY years ago! Transport, gunship, tanker, air sea rescue aircraft - its versatility is legendary. Here we see a C-130E of the Pakistan Air Force on display at the Royal International Air Tattoo, RAF Fairford. #airdisplay #aircraft #PakistanAirForce #Pakistan #turboprop #RAFFairford #Fairford #Hercules #C130 #Lockheed #LockheedMartin #RIAT #RoyalInternationalAirTattoo #tanker #gunship #transport #airsearescue #military #photography #aviation
