Was the USAF C-130 used to spray agent orange?

Answer 1

Yes, the USAF C-130 aircraft was used to spray Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. These aircraft were equipped with special tanks and spraying equipment to disperse the herbicide over large areas of land. The use of Agent Orange by the military has been linked to serious health issues for both military personnel and civilians exposed to the chemical.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, like, technically, the USAF C-130 was used to spray Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. I mean, it's not like they were just casually spraying air freshener, you know? So, yeah, it happened, but hey, at least it wasn't glitter or something, right?

Answer 3

Oh honey, you must be mixing up your cocktails because the USAF C-123 Provider, not the C-130, was the aircraft primarily used to spray Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. Those C-123s were like the bad boys of the sky, dousing the jungle with that toxic herbicide. So, if you're looking for the culprits behind the Agent Orange spray show, point your finger at the C-123s, not the C-130s.

Answer 4

No. Air Force C-123's from Project Ranch Hand flew more than 6,500 sorties spraying Agent Orange and Agent Blue. Army Huey's were also used to spray the colored agents, but far fewer sorties and far less coverage. The C-123's covered something like 5% of the land mass of South Viet Nam.

Answer 5

A photograph depicting either a twin engine C-123 or four engine C-130, along with photos of the UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) helicopter have been taken showing those machines spraying "agent orange" in South Vietnam.

Note: The twin engine C-7 Caribou looks very much like the C-123, but the C7 was a US Army fixed wing transport plane during the Vietnam War; and Operation Ranch Hand (agent orange spraying) was a US Air Force mission.
