What kind of missions?

Can some of the C-130 guys here in the forum give some ideas on some missions I can fly with my C-130.  Being an real world E-3 (also a Captain Sim product) guy myself, I'm not really sure what kind of missions the Herc's fly.  I know Spec Ops runs the AC130, and we all know what they do, but how about some AMC missions, or even how other nations employ their 130's.

Thanks,
Jeff USAF

Well where do we start....the Herk is the most versatile aircraft that has ever been in the air in my opinion...you think of it...it will do it...

Airdrop (Heavy Equipment, Bundles, Paratroop HALO and Low Level, Bomber) (All)
Air Evac (All)
Airland (All)
Aerial Tanker (HC's, KC's)
Command & Control (EC-130's)
Maritime Patrol (Coastie HC)
Spec Ops (All the AC's and the MC's)
SAR (HC's)
Humanitarian Relief (All)
Staff/VIP Transport (Feel sorry for the VIPS's hehe) (VC-130's)
Reconnaissance (RC's)
Arctic & Anarctic Support (w/ skies, and without)
Drone Control (GC's, DC's)
Electronic Warfare (EC's)
Space & Missile Operations (JC,NC)
Test & Evaluation (NC's, JC's, RC's)
