Niagara-on-the-Lake got another visit this year from a Royal Canadian Air Force CC-130 Hercules airplane. The plane landed on the tarmac at the Niagara District Airport on July 29, a quick stop to refuel during a training run.
The #602 Herc plane paid a visit to the Niagara District Airport back in May to refuel when pilots were conducting flight rescue training over Lake Ontario. The plane that landed on Tuesday was the #603.
This airplane model is the CC-130J Hercules, used for a wide range of missions, including transporting troops, tactical airlift, search and rescue and training, according to the Government of Canada’s website.
