On 20 January 2016, a C-130J Hercules from No. 37 Squadron conducted two flights from Hobart Airport carrying No. 5 Wing Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC), along with their instructors. The flight was a welcome opportunity for Cadets in Tasmania to experience a flight on an Air Force workhorse. Normally based at RAAF Base Richmond, Hercules transports will often conduct tasks to Tasmania for training, as well as search and rescue missions to the Southern Ocean if required.
