Beautiful photos of special operations aircraft Hercules were captured in the UK countryside, showing the harmony of the MC-130 flight.
The MC-130 is a US Air Force version of the legendary C-130 Hercules for special operations, equipped with multiple cameras, sensors and radios to support ground forces such as Rangers, Navy Seals, Delta Force and Green Berets.
Another difference with the MC-130 is the ability to land on shorter runways than conventional Hercules aircraft, with an emphasis precisely on meeting special operations requirements. This version also includes the in-flight refueling probe, which is widely used to support Army helicopters on special missions.
Four of these aircraft, the latest version, the MC-130J Commando II, were spotted flying in Mach Loop, a mountainous area near St. This area has enough space to pass aircraft between one mountain and another, and is widely used by the USAF and RAF for training, including combat aircraft.
For the first time, four MC-130Js were captured flying together in this area, in a fascinating video that can be seen below:
