Israel's first C-130J emerges


Israel's first Lockheed Martin C-130J tactical transport has been painted in customer markings, and will be delivered to the nation's air force in late 2013 or early 2014.
Pictured at Lockheed's Marietta production site in Georgia, USA, aircraft 661 is one of three stretched-fuselage C-130J-30s to have been ordered by Israel in 2010. The nation's air force says it needs to acquire more of the type, and late last year began talks with the manufacturer about the possible purchase of another three. The type will be named "Samson" in Israeli service.
