Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules Achieves 75,000 Flight Hours With
Italian Air Force
MARIETTA, Ga., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Italian Air Force has
achieved 75,000 flight hours with its fleet of Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT)
C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft, amassing an impressive record that
includes the first combat missions flown in the C-130J and the delivery of
humanitarian relief supplies.
Italy's 46th Air Brigade put its first C-130J into service in August 2000
and now operates 22 Super Hercules. With its operations, Italy has contributed
to the development of tactics for the "J" during the past eight years.
Lockheed Martin's vice president for C-130J Programs, Ross Reynolds,
attended a special ceremony in Pisa, Italy, today to celebrate this
significant operational milestone of 75,000 flight hours. At the ceremony,
Reynolds praised the 46th Air Brigade for its accomplishments.
"Seventy five thousand flight hours is a tremendous achievement," said
Reynolds. "From your unrelenting missions out of Herat in support of allied
troops in Afghanistan, to the Ridare la luce medical missions in Africa, you
are truly the operator by which all other C-130J operators are measured."
Reynolds presented the 46th with a large scale C-130J model that will
stand in the entrance to the National Training Centre in Pisa, where C-130J
aircrew and maintainers train. Since 2004, the centre has provided more than
800 hours of training and graduates approximately 150 pilots a year.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security
company that employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged
in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment
of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation
reported 2007 sales of $41.9 billion.
