    C130s were designed to operate from relatively short unimproved runways. If the place has enough runway to operate corporate jets, it should have enough for a C130.

    EDIT: This place only has enough runway (2998 x 50 ft ) for small Cessna size aircraft, so no jets or C130s.

      I reckon a C130 could use it actually. The US Navy landed one on a carrier, which is probably shorter then this runway.

      Edit: yes, USS Nimitz is 1/3 the length of this runway. C130 could land and take-off there with no issues.
