Hercules - A Lockheed Legend
Geez I must have been fortunate. I spent eight years as a F/E on Hercules (A-E & H models) and never, and I mean never, suffered double assymetric engine failure, total loss of hydraulic or electrical systems etc etc. Sure, the C130 hydraulic systems are not perfect, however they are generally reliable, and the flight controls may be moved manually, albiet with great effort required. The biggest problem the Brits had was they used Vickers engine driven pumps. As for no redundancy, that statement is just plain wrong. Two individual systems supply flight control boost pressure, they being the Utility system and the Booster System. The Hercules has been in service for more than 50 years and is still in production in the latest variant. No aircraft I am aware of has the capacity to perform the variety of tasks which the Hercules has done over the years. The C130 surely is a "Legend in it's own lifetime".
