Tunisia will early next month become the first African country to operate the stretched version of Lockheed Martin’s Super Hercules.
The North African country ordered two multi-mission C-130J-30 aircraft, with the second scheduled for delivery later this year, according to Dennys Plessas, Vice President Business Development Initiatives at Lockheed Martin.
“Tunisia is taking two standard airlifters and has ordered two MAFFS (modular airborne firefighting system) systems to enhance the usefulness of the aircraft,” he said.
The Tunisian airlift fleet is currently made up of a single C-130H and seven old C-130Bs.
