More capable Hercules reaches RCAF fleet
Cascade Aerospace is in the
process of delivering Lockheed
Martin CC-130J Hercules to
the Royal Canadian Air Force
(RCAF) following upgrade to the
latest Block 7.0 configuration.
All 17 of the RCAF’s fleet are
undergoing the modification.
The first was completed by
Cascade in February to become
the first Block 7.0 modification to
be completed outside of an OEM
or government facility.
The final
upgraded aircraft should be
back in service by October 2016,
at which time Canada will
have become the first nation
to fully upgrade its fleet.
