Example airports with runways for the Lockheed 130 Hercules
Airports whose longest open paved runway is at least 7,500 ft long and 100 ft wide — an illustrative planning heuristic based on this aircraft's design group and maximum takeoff weight, not a performance calculation. Actual requirements vary with weight, weather, elevation, and operator rules. Browse all airports →
