reallocating assets, extending the out-of-service date of the C-130K and leasing or procuring additional assets - for example C-17s or C-130s".
Not a hope in hell of extending the C130Ks - no budget available!
As well as needing new wing spars they also require a whole avionics upgrade to keep flying in European and North American airspace past 2012!
More C17s and C130Js required immediately for Tac Airlift.
A330s with OBIGGS, DAS, flight deck armour and LAIRCM? How long will that take? Crews? Training?
Roll-on the 'perfect storm' of 2012
