Lucas Garcia's Interests in Aviation

This website is about my one of my biggest hobbies/ interests, flying and aviation. I really enjoy studying military aircraft, espescially the C130J Hercules, a plane I hope to fly one day. I aspire to be a cargo pilot in the US Air Force.

An Overview of my Interests

Aviation an flying interests me because it is so fascinating and ever growing. Flying takes so much skill and disciplne, something I believe I have displayed throughout my flight training. My long term goal is to pursue this hobby as a career in the US Air Force through Air Force ROTC here at NMSU. I want to fly the C130J to assist with humanitarian, personnel, and equipment operations all around the world.

Some Cargo and Fighter Aircraft I Like

My Favorite Aircraft

C130 cargo aircraft

The C130 is one of my favorite cargo aircraft because of its insane versatility. It does not require a properly paved runway, as long as there is mostly smoothed out dirt. I also love this aircraft because I grew up close to an Air Force base when I lived in Germany, So I would often hear these planes and many others fly over my house. It was such an amazing sound to fall asleep to.
