C-130A Hercules Planetag

Historical Hercules PlaneTag

The C-130A Hercules is capable of carrying two M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks, or seven 10 8x8 armored vehicles (i.e. Stryker or LAV-25), or 16 HMMWVs.  Grab a real piece of military history when you purchase one of our C-130A Hercules PlaneTags at Aviator Mercantile Post.   We maintain the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut so it's extremely rare to have an identical, they are one-of-a-kind.  A true warrior would understand the beauty in the imperfections in the skin of a war machine after the battle, and we think these plane tags are such a memorable treasure to own.  Makes a great gift for someone who was there or maybe for the grandchildren of a hero who fought in Vietnam.

The Lockheed C-130A Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft, with the first models delivered in 1956.  This amazing airplane is capable of slowing to 125 knots, depositing heavy loads by parachute, landing on short or unimproved combat airstrips, assault transport operations, and able to carry items weighing up to 30,000 or 90 paratroopers.  Originally designed for troop, medic and cargo transport, this versatile aircraft has evolved into many other uses and roles: as a gunship for airborne assault, to aerial firefighting and refueling, and is now the main tactile airlifted for many military forces.
