This compilation details daily life for the aircrew of a C-130H Hercules, filmed during Winter of 2011. During this time, combat airlift ran around the clock in the largest troop withdrawal since the Second World War. The opening timelapses are of the last C-130 to depart from a combat base in Iraq, hours before the final troop convoy left for the border. The Hercules is used to fly supplies, people, and equipment into small and austere airfields for military and relief operations around the world. The rest was filmed during actual airlift missions into both Iraq and Afghanistan, showing the range of environments and conditions that can be encountered in a day's flying.
