Hercules conquers Egypt


The Egyptian Armed Forces announced at the Egypt International Air Show that Lockheed Martin will deliver two C-130J-30 Super Hercules tactical airlifters to the Egyptian Air Force (EAF) through a foreign military sale (FMS) with the US Air Force.

 

Egypt is the 23rd nation to join the Super Hercules fleet with the acquisition of two C-130J-30 tactical airlifters. The C-130J-30 delivers enhanced capability, additional versatility and increased power to EAF crews.

 

Egypt operates one of the world's largest C-130H fleets, which has a significant presence in the Middle East North Africa (mena) region, supporting military, peacekeeping, humanitarian and natural disaster response mission requirements. Egypt joins seven operators in this regio that have chosen the C-130J as a preferred medium-sized tactical airlifter and tanker. (cj)
