This is the C-130 Hercules. It has plenty of variants a few are transports for troops, vehicles, or supplies. Another is the AC-130 Hercules which is ground attack. It uses a howitzer cannon and a larger caliber gatling gun. There was one variant that had rockets to give it a fast take off like JATO (jet assisted take off). It was designed to land in a soccer stadium to rescue prisoners. it was used only in tests and it crashed, no one was killed. The Hercules has served for a very long time and I'm sure it will serve much longer.

Thunder Birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (if you want to see some good sample footage go to kaizenvideopro.com)
The Thunderbirds were created to show the people of the U.S. the capabilities of the Air Force's aircraft. This year the Thunderbirds have received brand new block 52 F-16s. One fact about the Thunderbird's aircraft are they don't have a gun, they have been removed to make room for the environmentally friendly smoke system.
