US Herk Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 From the article: In an effort to avert having to shut down its Georgia production line in three years, Lockheed Martin is lobbying the Air Force to buy an additional 120 C-130J aircraft under an offered multi-year contract worth more than $6 billion. And AFSOC swears they\'re buying KC-130J w/C-130J software = MC-130J! There is no money. As T2 Guy said in another thread, \'They\'re hallucinating\' So they put it in an emergency supplemental request. Nice try - we\'ll see what happens. From the article: Congress is currently considering a 2008 war supplemental request that includes funding for 15 C-130Js, seven KC-130J tankers and two MC-130J special-operations variants. Those requests may run into resistance, as several members have criticized the inclusion of the aircraft in an emergency supplemental.
