I was really hoping that Canada would jump the queue as the US allowed us to do with the C-17 purchase.
But I suppose that the US is not the only nation in the queue.

At this rate, they are going to be still cranking out C-130s 20 years from now.

When we were told, in my old ANG unit that we would give up fighters for C-130s, people thought the world ended.
20 years on and I can tell you the Herk is the greatest airplane there is. It goes anywhere and does it all. The great 4x4, SUV and RV of the sky.

Wow!!! Found this
C-130 tribute on YouTube, the part at the end with the simulated combat drop is absolutely amazing. I didn't realize the Herc had such great STOL capabilities.
