The first of six C-130J Super Hercules for India took to the skies for its maiden flight yesterday, according to maker Lockheed Martin Corporation. The Indian Air Force logo/colors are visible on the plane which was first shown a few months ago.
The aircraft will now complete a series of company and customer flight tests prior to delivery in December. India placed an order for six of these large propeller-driven transport planes for almost $1 billion two years ago.
