OUR AIRCRAFT'S STORY
The HC-130H Hercules traces its origins to the iconic C-130 Hercules family, which was developed by Lockheed in the 1950s as a rugged and versatile transport aircraft. Recognizing the need for a specialized variant capable of long-range search and rescue (SAR) missions, the U.S. Air Force commissioned the HC-130H in the early 1960s. Designed to perform in challenging environments, the HC-130H featured modifications such as additional fuel tanks for extended range, enhanced avionics for navigation and communication, and specialized equipment for SAR operations, including the ability to deploy pararescue teams and equipment to distressed areas.
The HC-130H was initially introduced in the mid-1960s, quickly proving its value in a variety of missions. Its early deployments saw the aircraft supporting combat operations in Vietnam, where it conducted search and rescue missions for downed pilots and other personnel in hostile territory. Over the decades, the HC-130H evolved with numerous upgrades to its avionics, engines, and defensive systems, allowing it to remain a reliable platform for SAR and other critical missions. Despite the introduction of newer models, the HC-130H's durability and adaptability ensured its continued service well into the 21st century, cementing its legacy as one of the most enduring variants of the Hercules family.

PlaneTags are:
- Authentic - made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal.
- Unique - each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut and it is therefore rare to create two identical PlaneTags.
- Collectible - each one is numbered in a limited edition and comes attached to a display card.
- Versatile - comes with a durable metal ring, strong enough to attach to luggage or keys or display.
*Important Notice – Please Read Carefully
PlaneTags are made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal. Because PlaneTags are made from real fuselage, each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut and it is therefore rare to create two identical PlaneTags. These variations and imperfections are not product flaws. They are part of the beauty of PlaneTags. As a result, you will not have an option to select the color of your PlaneTag.
