Defending Formosa PART TWO

摘要

The backbone of the Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) transport fleet consists of 19 C-130Hs assigned to the 10th Tactical Airlift Group based at Pingtung. Twenty were acquired in three consecutive batches: an initial order of 12 Hercules purchased in 1984 was delivered from September 1986; four more were ferried to Taiwan in January 1995 and the last four arrived at Pingtung in December 1997. The C-130Hs can be equipped with Knight Aerospace quick-change roll-on/roll-off modular units to carry passengers.
