Recognition

Four turboprops located under the high-set straight wing. A circular fuselage with a distinctive nose radome (1), undercarriage fairings and upswept tail to accommodate the large rear loading door. The Hercules often carries fuel tanks on under-wing pylons (2), and at some angles these may appear to be another pair of engines. The C3 version has a 15ft/4.58m longer fuselage (3).
