Lockheed Martin has dispatched two variants of the company’s C-130J Super Hercules airlifter to the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Air Force.
The company said Thursday that the Coast Guard received the search-and-surveillance HC-130J Tuesday after that aircraft underwent post-production modifications at a Lockheed facility in Greenville, South Carolina while the MC-130J was delivered Friday to the Air Force Special Operations Command in Hurlburt Field, Florida.
C-130J planes are tactical aircraft designed to complete missions regardless of location or time through a combination of versatility and performance.
