Guest Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 [ATTACH=CONFIG]4383[/ATTACH] KABUL: The United States has delivered another C-130 aircraft (c/n [cn]4681[/cn] ex USAF 74-1689) to the Air Force of Afghanistan as part of the rehabilitation effort of the Afghan Air Force. A statement released by the Afghan Air Force said Wednesday that Afghanistan has so far received three C-130 cargo aircraft from United States. The source added the delivery of the C-130 is part of the contract with the United States for the delivery of four C-130 aircraft to Afghan Air Force. The last delivery of the C-130 aircraft to Afghan Air Force is expected by the end of this year, the source said. According to the Afghan Air Force, the delivery of C-130 aircraft has helped to resolve the transportation issues and has further increased the combat capabilities of the Afghan armed forces. The United States of America handed over two C-130 aircraft to the ministry of defense of Afghanistan late in last year. The Afghan Air Force currently has 6,800 personnel and 102 aircraft. The C-130 is the biggest aircraft in the Afghan Air Force fleet and expands their capabilities.
