From a role/function, if the KC30 was equipped with a cargo floor their function would be the same as the KC135R, The KC10 and so on.
We are restricting the use of the KC30 after all they will not always be tasked for AR and just to carry troops. Under floor space is I believe restricted compared with main cabin. Other wise the troops and their vehicles would require two types of uplift aircraft and that could restrict tasking.
Either way the uplift capacity needs improving.
As for the C130H let us not repeat the C130E problem and lets get them into upgrade. The RNZAF is putting theirs through that beaut shop in WACO Texas and my understanding they are coming out almost as new airframes. After all there is at least one 1958 airframe still flying in the USA and with the Aero Products props to boot. My understanding that it is about to get zero time main planes and a new centre section.
In the meantime six of our E models now fly with the PAF as super E's.
