"Just a nice Picture...!"

On 24 May 2023, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Lockheed HC-130H Hercules N436NA (c/n 382-5104) arrived on a USN Cargo Transport flight at Chateauroux (France).

The Hercules is operated by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s (GSFC) Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) in Virginia, USA. According to NASA, the aircraft supports airborne scientific research activities and movement of NASA cargo. It is used to perform scientific research, provide logistics support on an as-needed basis to other NASA missions, and can be used as a technology test bed for new airborne and satellite instrumentation.

The Hercules returned to the US on 26 May.
