130310 and 130325 are Time Expired and currently at Cascade Aerospace in Abbotsford, BC (YXX). Both are CC-130E Hercules, one is 45 years old and the other is 42.

Out of 19 CC-130E, 10 have now been take out of service and only 9 are still remaining. Hopefully we will see 130603 soon to help fill in the void.

That checks with what I had only 9 E's flying

Bob

305,306,307,308,317, 320, 323, 327,328

306 is time expired at Winnipeg, maybe going to a museum. 317 is time expired at Trenton, I have a pic.

319 and 324 are both flying, as of last week. More details for both if you need it.

None of my sources have seen 320 since May...

Confirmed from 4 sources that 306 is retired, and apparently now at Cascade in Abbotsford, BC. Trying to get pictures of 306 and 325 to confirm (not that I don't trust them).

Got word that 313 is going to replace 314 at CFB Trenton's museum, since 314 is in pretty bad shape.

Little old, but I just stumbled across this:

CAE wins Lockheed deal

Montreal— The Canadian Press

Published Monday, May. 17, 2010 10:08AM EDTLast updated Monday, May. 17, 2010 10:10AM EDT

CAEsaid Monday that Lockheed Martin has awarded the flight simulator and training company a $90-million contract to provide aircraft maintenance training for Canada's new fleet of 17 CC-130J Hercules transport aircraft.

This is the Montreal-based company's second major CC-130J contract. Last year, the Canadian government awarded a direct aircrew training contract under a separate program.

The maintenance training system developed by CAE will allow trained technicians to be certified without the need to access actual aircraft.

Martin Gagne, president of CAE's military products, training and services group, said the contracts will give the company “a key role in helping prepare our Canadian Forces to fly, maintain and support Canada's new fleet of Super Hercules aircraft.

The contract is divided in two phases. Over the next three years, CAE will design and manufacture a CC-130J maintenance training suite that includes two fuselage and one cockpit systems.

After the training suite is delivered in 2013, CAE will manage the in-support until mid-2016, providing upgrades and maintenance.

The project will create and sustain about 70 jobs during the initial phase and 20 permanent jobs once maintenance training begins in Trenton, Ont.

New information from a source. Apparently we can now confirm the next four CC-130J for Canada are in flight test.

This is what I received:

The next 4 C-130's due for delivery from Marietta are meant to be CAF ones:

c/n s/n Hex

5649 130606 C2B55D

5650 130607 C2B567

5651 130608 C2B571

5652 130609 C2B57B

The last one appeared to have made it;s first flight on the 12th, so it may still be a while before that is delivered.
