casey Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Oct 15 Lockheed Martin Corp on Thursday said it had reached a verbal agreement with the U.S. Air Force on a five-year contract to build up to 83 C-130J transport planes for the Air Force, Coast Guard and Marine Corps through 2020. The company said its goal was to complete the remaining contract actions, certifications and congressional notifications required to finalize the deal by the end of the year. Analysts value the agreement at around $5 billion. "We have reached a verbal agreement on the C-130J multiyear II contract," Lockheed spokesman Joe LaMarca told Reuters in response to a query. He gave no details on the value of the deal, or the amount of savings it would provide, compared to negotiating five successive one-year contracts.

Railrunner130 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/10/16/lockheed-transport-idUSL1N12G02H20151016 Wonder where they are headed? If half go to USAF and half are split between USCG and USMC- Are the Yokota airplanes included? If Yokota takes 20, then 3 ANG/AFRC units would get Js. With all the airplane shuffles lately, would that mean Mansfield, CT and MT? Although I think MT is getting Savannah's H2s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
