 * In mission "Iron Lady", C-130 can be briefly seen dropping troops.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II
C-130 is briefly mentioned by Frank Woods in opening cutscene to level Pyrrhic Victory. "This baby, it shits out a film canister 12 miles up, then a C-130 comes by and... pfft... snags it at about 30,000 feet"

- Frank Woods

 * Even though it is clearly a C-130 crashing in the campaign mission "Exodus", Cpl. Dunn calls it an AC-130 instead.
 * The C-130 in multiplayer used for the emergency airdrop killstreak is a reskinned AC-130, retaining its outer guns.
