Maybe the Gov't has learnt that buying "off the shelf" does have some benefits.

Question for those more in the know.

I understand the need for the C-17 but how needed are the C-130's in the longer term scheme of things ?

Will we end up with too much large, long term strategic capacity and too little
C-130 tactical capacity and landing options ?
