Latest Herc artwork is indeed the C130J 10th Anniversary Print
(No further comment on the print, PPRuNe roolz)
The Nov '99 date is delivery date from Lockheed, there was a gap before we got our hands on them.

They were rolling around at Lockheed earlier than '99 ('94-95 springs to mind), but weren't completely "delivered" for quite some time...I believe, but can't remember for certain (I'm sure someone will correct me if wrong & please do), there were several issues being worked between mid-90s and first true deliveries...although the planes were actually "built" & even flying (albeit w/Lockheed pilots).
