The Mighty Hercules celebrates 60 years in the RCAF
Government of Canada
When the engineers and designers at Lockheed created the Hercules aircraft in the 1950s, it’s doubtful they had any idea how versatile and iconic the plane would turn out to be for the Royal Canadian Air Force. In 1960, 435 Transport and Rescue Squadron received the first operational B-Model Hercules. The squadron flies the updated H-model today.

L'imposant Hercules célèbre ses 60 ans dans l'ARC
Gouvernement du Canada
Dans les années 1950, quand les ingénieurs et les concepteurs de Lockheed ont mis au point l’avion Hercules, ils ne se doutaient pas de la polyvalence qu’aurait cet avion dans l’Aviation royale canadienne (ARC), ni du caractère emblématique qu’il prendrait. En 1960, le 435e Escadron de transport et de sauvetage recevait le premier avion opérationnel Hercules modèle B de l’ARC. L’unité utilise toujours le modèle H, variante actuelle de l’avion.
