Ray sahab,

Here is a table of load factors taken from "Combat Service Support Guide", by Maj. (Retd.) John Edwards, US Army. The 463 L pallets perhaps refer to ammo pallets. One CDS bundle is equivalent to 2000 lb load. I do not know if an aircraft can carry all this at once, or only a combination of these, subject to maximum take-off weight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aircraft, # of 463 L pallets, Fuel (lb), CDS (bundles), Passengers

C-130, 6, 6000, 16, 90

C-141B, 13, 9000, 40, 200

C-17, 18, n/a, 40, 102 (can have
84 more seats)

C-5A, 36, n/a, n/a, 73 (255 more in
cargo hold)

KC-10, 25, n/a, n/a, 69


I hope that helps.
