The C-130 is seen in the following campaign missions:
In "Operation 40", the Op 40 have to escape in a C-130 through heavy gunfire on the airfield. After the plane begins to show damage on the runway, Mason jumps off the plane to take out trucks blocking the end of the runway, allowing it to take off.
In "S.O.G.", during the invasion of Khe Sanh, a landing C-130 is destroyed, almost killing Hudson and injuring the team.
In "Crash Site", the Russians use a C-130 to transport a load of Nova 6, which is later shot down by CIA. Although SOG reach the crash first, the hull is hit by a Spetsnaz Hind, causing the front to fall down a small cliff, injuring the team.
In the game mode Drop Zone, the C-130 is used as a transport to drop of a few care packages even though there is no such thing as emergency airdrop in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
In mission "Iron Lady", a C-130 can be briefly seen dropping troops.

"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
The C-130 is briefly mentioned by Frank Woods in opening cutscene to level Pyrrhic Victory. However, the plane seen is a C-17 with propellers instead of turboprop engines. It can also be seen flying around the map during the mission Suffer With Me.
Call of Duty: Ghosts[]
At the beginning of the mission "The Hunted", the Ghosts are seen in a C-130 with Rorke held captive.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer, during the Emergency Airdrop killstreak, if the player looks at the back of the plane as the C-130 drops the crates, the player can see the crates spawn behind the plane.
The C-130 in multiplayer is not a solid object, as a Predator Missile will fly right through it.
Even though it is clearly a C-130 crashing in the campaign mission "Exodus", Dunn calls it an AC-130 instead.
The C-130 in multiplayer that is used for the Emergency Airdrop killstreak is a reskinned and resized AC-130, retaining its outer guns.
