The two C-130's were already in the United Arab Emirates.
I read they just needed crews to get there.
I also think Aus doesn't like using our RAAF / RAAC hardware that much,
at least not for killing people or at least publicising it if it does get used.
We have had 10 years of war yet not much got used apart from Transports.
Just my HO.
