CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT — The C-130J's integral winch and tow plate is installed in the cargo floor behind the flight deck. Some things don't change, like the landing gear handle.

The instrument panel consists of four color liquid crystal displays and avionics management units; each pilot has a communications, navigation, and identification management unit on the center console. The C-130J's cup holder accommodates everything from a coffee cup to a Big Gulp. The Enhanced Cargo Handling System features electric locks that release simultaneously.
