Premium, Limited Edition Fine Art Print

Edition limited to 50 in total (25 prints in each size)

Because of its ability to operate from short and unpaved runways, the H model Hercules was originally given a tactical airlift role. Its long range and ability to fly in adverse weather also made it ideal for search and rescue operations, in which capacity it is now tasked. Two of the H models have been converted to air-to-air refuelers, participating in missions such as Iraqi no-fly zone enforcement and the Libya Air Campaign. The H models have also supported the Canadian contingents of numerous UN missions and conducted many humanitarian airlifts.

This limited edition fine art print featuring the CC-130H Hercules (circa 1974)—and our entire RCAF 100th Centennial Collection—is perfect for collectors and aviation enthusiasts of all ages. By purchasing this, you will also be supporting the RCAF and its personnel, as a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the RCAF Centennial Fund.

Artist's Note

This photorealistic rendition is my artistic interpretation of an aircraft of this type. As I create my pieces, I draw inspiration from multiple sources, adding details with a creative lens. This particular image is a composite concept of that process. The dates shown on each piece indicate when the aircraft was “taken on strength.” The paint colour and markings on this piece are not meant to accurately depict the aircraft when it came into service. Most aircraft were in service for many years and assigned to various theatres of operation and squadrons. Ultimately, my final conceptual renderings may not—in fact, most often—are not 100% historically accurate. The RCAF 100th Centennial identifier signifies that the Royal Canadian Air Force approves this reproduction.
