I got to take a tour of the WC-130J at the NWS open house in Peachtree City, GA some years ago. I strongly recommend it, not just for the aircraft but to meet and hear the experiences and perspectives of the crew.
Hercs. landed almost anywhere, everywhere under enemy fire during the Nam days, Iraq and Afghan lunacy MIC conflicts and soldier on. Hurricane, a weather encounter!
Kudos to a tough old bird and their seasoned and well tested flight crews!
The P3 Orion is a stalwart as well.
