speck727 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I had what I believe to be KC-3803 pass by my SBS box in Nova Scotia yesterday, April 8th so looks like it might indeed be on a delivery flight. Can anyone possibly confirm the hex code tie-up, I had code AE2737 which nicely matches AE2736 which I believe to be KC-3802 which I also had on it's delivery flight a while ago. Never did "See" KC-3801 however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jansen Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Looks like India wants to pick up at least one WC-130J for tracking tropical cyclones: http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_generic.jsp?topicName=india&id=news/awx/2011/04/20/awx_04_20_2011_p0-313719.xml&headline=India%20Plans%20To%20Hire%20Weather%20Recon%20Aircraft%20Soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jansen Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 "Similarly, negotiations for six more C-130J `Super Hercules' heavy-lift aircraft will begin soon. "IAF has already inducted two of the earlier six C-130Js ordered for $1.2 billion in 2008. Two more will come around July, with the last two in September-October," said the MoD source. http://air-ace.blogspot.com/2011/05/decks-cleared-for-biggest-ever-indo-us.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jansen Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 The third and fourth C-130J Super Hercules transports for the Indian Air Force were flown from the Lockheed Martin facility in Marietta, Ga. en route to AFS Hindon, near Delhi, India, on 15 June 2011. The remaining two C-130Js on order for India will be delivered later this summer. The Indian C-130Js will be equipped with an infrared detection set to allow precision low-level flying, airdrops, and landing in blackout conditions. Neither the radome-mounted infrared sensor turret nor the removable air-to-air refueling probe was installed for the ferry flight. http://www.codeonemagazine.com/news_item.html?item_id=368 MSN Registration C/S Hexcode 5653 KC-3804 IFC3411 AE2738 5654 KC-3805 IFC3511 AE2739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
