Comment

A classic 'Albert' run : to Erbil via Turkey and back in around 4 hours. A real quick dash : Erbil is about 1,000 km away and flying out the C130J is going at 380 kts or around 700 km/h, so that would make it a flight of say 1 hour and 20 minutes leaving a turn-around time of almost 2 hours in Erbil.
