Transport and Reconnaissance Aircraft

Aircraft that carry troops, vehicles and supplies or gather intelligence over enemy territory, including the C-130 Hercules and the SR-71 Blackbird. A weapon belongs here when its cited article describes it as a transport, cargo or reconnaissance aircraft. It excludes combat aircraft and helicopters. Transports moved paratroops, vehicles and supplies to the front, and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft photographed and listened to enemy territory, so both support the combat aircraft rather than fighting themselves.
