C 130 For Oman

RAFO accepts first C130J-30 Super Hercules aircraft

The Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO) has formally accepted the first of three C130J-30 Super Hercules military transport aircraft from Lockheed Martin at its Marietta facility in Georgia, US.
The aircraft completed its maiden test flight at the same facility in August 2012.
Oman ordered the first long configuration C130J-30 Super Hercules in July 2009, followed by two additional short configuration aircraft in August 2010, to help support the air force's internal country operations and also to enable operation out of remote and rundown airstrips.
A stretched version of Lockheed built C-130J Hercules, the C-130J-30 is a four-engine, medium-lift military transport aircraft designed to perform military, civilian and humanitarian assistance missions.
