 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |
Well operating both C-130J's and C-130H's is probably more expensive than just H-models (even if we have to resurrect them from the dead).Kleintje Pils wrote:Is this really much more cost effective?
Simply they don't build any C-130H anymore just C-130J which are totally different. Although I believe our C-130H are amongst the most modern in the world.Kleintje Pils Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2007 3:55 pm Post subject:
Now I see this picture of the G-988 I'm thinking why we didn't just bought new airframes
Does this mean that there is still a need for some 10 (!) C-130's which were mentioned a few years ago. They just wait a few years because a lot of cheap C-130's will be available once the A.400M are deliverd to the european Air Forces.Lightning Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2007 2:04 pm Post subject:
But this depends on finding a potential customer for it. Do'nt be surprised if it finally also goes to the Netherlands, when the MoD finds new funds. But, as said, the third Herc is still owned by Derco and will not come to the RNLAF unless new financial sources are found
