Apples and oranges. Different planes for different pllications. Big news is that with the AMP mods going into the C-130's, they are projected for service, world wide in more than 60 countries, for another 25 years minimum.

From the prototype Lockheed YC-130 going wheels up on 23 Aug 1954 to the final C-130H deleivered to Japan in Sept. 1997. 43 years and 2,271 Herc's in 4 major variants and sub-types, including civil L-100's.

A great a/c. I kinda like 'em...lol.

I bet that will take a big chunk out of orders for the A400M.

Canada is probably getting ready to buy a batch of new 130-Js.
