Just announced today, though rumours have been flying around for the last few weeks. Looks like 1 aircraft by Dec this year with up to 3 more by 2008.
Will be interesting to see how they retire the C130H and the future of specops capability. Guess a few will be kept around till the J model picks up the role.
