Holanda recibe un tercer Hércules/The Royal Netherlands Air Force has received a third C-130H Hercules



Según KeyAero.com la Real Fuerza Aérea Holandesa recibió su tercerC-130H Hercules en el aeropuerto Eindhoven . Debido a la carga de trabajo que sufría la pequeña flota de dos C-130H, Holanda pidió dos aviones mas en 2004. Se adquirieron dos EC-130q ex-US Navy retirados en 1991, convertidos a C-130H por Marshall Aerospace en el Reino Unido. El primer avión realizó su primer vuelo en Julio de 2009. La conversión incluyó la ínstalación de pantallas digitales en el cockpit. Los nuevos aviones se unirán al 336 Squadron en Eindhoven. El segundo avión será entregado en un par de semanas.

According KeyAero.com The Royal Netherlands Air Force received its third C-130H Hercules at a ceremony at Eindhoven Airport. Due to pressure on the small fleet of two C-130H, the Dutch government ordered two more aircraft in 2004. Two former US Navy EC-130Q aircraft retired in 1991 were acquired and rebuilt to C-130H standard by Marshall Aerospace at Cambridge in the UK. The first performed its first flight in early July 2009. Conversion has also included provision of a ‘glass’ cockpit. The new aircraft will join the existing brace of aircraft with 336 Squadron based at the military complex at Eindhoven. The second new aircraft will be delivered in the next few weeks.
