Guest Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 [ATTACH=CONFIG]4474[/ATTACH] The Israeli Air Force (IAF) might expand its fleet of C-130J Hercules fleet to up to nine aircraft, a senior Lockheed Martin executive said in Israel on 4 November. The IAF received its first two C-130Js earlier this year and they are now operational at Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel. (Lockheed Martin) The IAF has already taken delivery of two C-130Js, a contract has been signed for another two and advanced talks are underway to acquire a fifth and sixth aircraft, according to Patrick M Dewar, executive vice-president of Lockheed Martin International. Once the contract is finalised, the two additional aircraft can be delivered within two and a half years, he said. In the next stage, Israel will examine the possibility of acquiring an additional three C-130Js, Dewar added.
