Lockheed Martin Super Hercules Deliveries Strengthen USAF and USMC Fleets — Press Release

Matthew Potter — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:00:35 +0000

Lockheed Martin Super Hercules Deliveries Strengthen USAF and USMC Fleets

MARIETTA, Ga., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Demonstrating the increase in the C-130J build and delivery rate, Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) simultaneously delivered two C-130Js on Nov. 19 to two different customers – a C-130J to the U.S. Air Forces in Europe and a KC-130J to the U.S. Marine Corps.

The USAFE C-130J was accepted by Brig. Gen. Mark C. “Marshal” Dillon, commander of the 86th Airlift Wing, Ramstein Air Base, and commander, Kaiserslautern Military Community, Germany. The KC-130J Tanker was accepted by a Marine Corps flight crew and will be based at VMGR-152, Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan.

“Adding another C-130J is not a linear addition; it’s geometric in terms of the capability of the airplane,” Dillon said. “One plus one doesn’t always equal two, sometimes it equals three or four because of the great capability of the C-130J. After spending the last two weeks at Little Rock Air Force Base and seeing the tremendous capability of the C-130J, it’s just going to add capability to Ramstein, Europe and that part of the world – which our country needs and our European partners need.”

“Delivery of two aircraft to two customers in one day is a clear indication of the accelerating pace of the C-130J program,” said Ross Reynolds, Lockheed Martin vice-president, C-130 programs. “The worldwide demand for this proven airlifter continues to grow and we are steadily increasing production to meet the demand.”

The Ramstein delivery represents the eighth C-130J for the base, which will receive 10 C-130Js by the end of 2009. Four more will be delivered in 2010. The KC-130J is the 36th of 46 aircraft on order to be delivered to the USMC.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2008 sales of $42.7 billion.
