All over the news this week over here.
The Norwegian MOD has finally understood that the old C-130Hs are nackered.
4 of 6 are in Canada to get "new" wings (from the scrapyard), with one more to follow. The result:
One operational Herc.
They have found severe corrotion damage on several airframes as well.
The MOD is considering trying to "snach" aircraft on order for other forces, in less dire need. Apparently they might buy or lease 4 aircraft ASAP.
Final decision is pending.......
