Hi,

I saw a thread on this forum in regards to the recently delivered C-130's to the PAF. However not much was forth coming in regards to detail.

Anyone got any information on them? Are they the refurbished EX-RAAF C-130s (E's I think). Also any details on the upgrades carried out would be useful.

Thanks

Yes, they are refurbished ex-RAAF C-130E's. These C-130Es were returned to Lockheed Martin by RAAF few years ago.

The six C-130Es going to Pakistan AF are:

I actually got a pic of one at Donaldson Center in South Carolina recently which is where they were refurbished.

I didn't quite get the picture I wanted as I hesitated too long in deciding whether to take it or not, I'll work on it in PS7 and upload asap,
