L-382 Hercules Service
Do you need to send supplies to a remote location? That's not a problem
when you charter Lynden Air Cargo's L-382 Hercules. The Hercules is one
of the most versatile aircraft for operating on unimproved airstrips worldwide.
How versatile? It can land on packed earth, gravel, ice or short runways.
It's ideal for transporting cargo to bush communities without road access.
Even in an environmental emergency, such as an oil spill, the Hercules can
be called on to provide immediate response including oil-dispersant spraying
operations.

The Hercules can carry payloads of up to 48,000 pounds of palletized or
break-bulk freight. Its cargo hold is 54 feet long, 10 feet wide and 9 feet
high. Loading the cargo plane is easy because the rear-loading door 
can lower to either truck-bed height or ground level. This rear-loading
feature allows straight-in cargo loading to the maximum length of the cabin -
56 feet - with the bonus space over the closed rear door.
