an additional 12 C-130s.
Projected completion is by
2009.
The third phase is sched
uled to begin in January
2007. By 2020, 155 C-130s
will have new center wing
boxes.
The replacement program
encompasses all C-130 mod
els except the C-130J. The
J model is the latest addi
tion to the C-130 fleet and
entered the inventory in
February 1999.
“The new center wing
boxes are the same ones
being manufactured for the
C-130J, so they are brand
new,” said Dusty Dodd, chief
of C-130 programs for the
330th Aircraft Sustainment
Group.
Center wing boxes are
built by Lockheed Martin
of Marietta. Once removed,
old center wing boxes will be
destroyed.
According to Dodd, there
are 47 aircraft with flying
restrictions, plus another
30 completely grounded
because of the cracks.
“The replacement pro
gram is important because
of the impact the loss of
those aircraft could have

adding that the replacement

“By that time we will have

he said.
