The CC130 Hercules is a fixed-wing aircraft and has 4 turboprop engines. It is capable of short takeoffs and lands on prepared runways and can respond to Search and Rescue (SAR) emergencies on almost any terrain and under the most challenging weather conditions.  Greenwood's CC-130E aircraft are flown by 413 Transport and Rescure Squadron, whose roles are transport, and search and rescue throughout a 1,800,000 square mile area in eastern Canada.
