KC-130 AIRCRAFT
The KC-130 is a multi-role, multi-mission tactical tanker/transport which provides the support required by
Marine Air Ground Task Forces. This versatile asset provides in-flight refueling to both tactical aircraft and
helicopters as well as rapid ground refueling when required.
Additional tasks performed are aerial delivery of troops and cargo, emergency resupply into unimproved
landing zones within the objective or battle area, airborne Direct Air Support Center, emergency medevac,
tactical insertion of combat troops and equipment, evacuation missions, and support as required of special
operations capable Marine Air Ground Task Forces.
The KC-130 is equipped with a removable 3600 gallon (136.26 hectoliter) stainless steel fuel tank that is
carried inside the cargo compartment providing additional fuel when required. The two wing-mounted hose
and drogue refueling pods each transfer up to 300 gallons per minute (1135.5 liters per minute) to two
aircraft simultaneously allowing for rapid cycle times of multiple-receiver aircraft formations (a typical tanker
formation of four aircraft in less than 30 minutes).
Some KC-130s are also equipped with defensive electronic and infrared countermeasures systems.
Development is currently under way for the incorporation of interior/exterior night vision lighting, night
vision goggle heads-up displays, global positioning system, and jam-resistant radios.
The ‘KC-130 Model’ package is available at www.captainsim.com as an expansion to the 'Legendary C-130'
base package.

MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES
Note:
Description texts shown in gray color are provided for educational purposes only.
These features are not modeled in the ‘KC-130 Model’
The inflight refueling system consists of a 3,600 gallon capacity cradle-mounted fuselage fuel tank, two
drogue-and-hose reels mounted in external pods, an auxiliary fuel control panel in the flight station, and the
necessary plumbing and accessories to connect these components.
All inflight refueling fuel system controls are located on the auxiliary fuel control panel at the flight engineer
station. The flight engineer station is connected by intercommunication circuits to two observer stations. The
observer stations are located at the paratroop doors so that the observers may watch the refueling operation
and report its progress to the flight engineer.
Fuel for transfer during inflight refueling is carried primarily in the fuselage tank. If additional fuel is needed,
fuel can be transferred from the wing tanks into the fuselage tank and then to the receiver aircraft. Fuel also
may be transferred directly from the wing tanks to the receiver aircraft, but this is normally done only when
unable to refuel from the fuselage tank.
FUSELAGE TANK
The two inflight refueling pods contain the hydraulically operated reels and associated plumbing. To facilitate
extension and retraction of the hose, the pod is recessed to allow freedom of entry for the reception coupling
and drogue.
This recessed port, located on the aft bottom of the pod, is designed to allow retraction of the drogue
without interference between the paradrogue and the conical end of the pod.
Two two-position (TRAIL, REWIND) reel control switches are located on the auxiliary fuel control panel.
These switches are used to trail and rewind the drogues for normal operation. With the reel control POWER
switches ON, the drogues will extend when the reel control switches am placed to TRAIL. The drogues will
retract when the switches am placed to REWIND.
