Brassarna hoppas på motköp. http://www.svd.se/naringsliv/nyheter/brasilien-hoppas-pa-svensk-flygplansorder_3315848.svd Enligt wiki kostar c-130J $62 miljoner, mot KC-390 $50 miljoner. Propeller vs jet, driftskostnader? För lufttankning kanske det är smidigare med en kärra som går 850km/h än 580km/h? Är den något att ha/ersätta Herkan med?

http://www.nt.se/nyheter/artikel.aspx?articleid=9676594 Planet var av samma typ som det norska som kraschade i Kebnekajsemassivet 2012. Varför står det inget om hur det gick med besättningen på det indiska flygplanet? Är C-130J mer benägen att krascha än tidigare Herculesmodeller? /Per

Är det någon som vet eller hört vad som kommer efter att Tp84 Hercules har avecklats??? Det ända jag har hört nyligen är att Finska å Svenska regeringen har börjat samtala om ett gemensamt köp av ersättare till varje lands transport flygenhet Finnarna har ju 2 motoriga Fokker flp som börjar bli lite slitna
