The buy confirmed today. Norwegian minister of defense Anne-Grete Strøm-Erichsen gave the news at a press conference in Oslo today 25/5.
The deal is going to be for 4 C-130J-30s, the first to reach operational capability in 2009.
I bet the crews at 335Sqn are happy today.
(And the soldiers will be pleased to avoid travel with several semi-dodgy east block charter aircraft.......)
It is going to be a big stink in the parliament over this, but when you allow "communists" into a coalition goverment, that's what you get!
