The United States Coast Guard often utilizes the C-130 Hercules aircraft for search and rescue operations. The C-130 is a versatile and capable aircraft that can perform various missions, including long-range search and rescue operations over land and water.

Equipped with advanced radar systems, surveillance equipment, and search capabilities, the C-130 can cover large areas and locate distressed vessels, missing persons, or aircraft in need of assistance. It can also drop supplies, deploy rescue swimmers, and coordinate with other assets to ensure effective rescue operations.

The C-130's ability to operate from short and unimproved runways, as well as its range and endurance, make it well-suited for search and rescue missions conducted by the United States Coast Guard.
