DTN News - INDONESIA DEFENSE NEWS: Australian Surplus Hercules To Be Given To Indonesia
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - January 5, 2012: AUSTRALIA will hand over four unneeded C-130 Hercules transport planes to Indonesia.
The Royal Australian Air Force transports are understood to have been in storage.
The RAAF's inventory has been boosted by the purchase of six giant C-17 Globemaster II transports, so the smaller and older Hercules are no longer needed. The C-130Hs that will go to Indonesia have been largely superseded in the RAAF by the more powerful J model.
