Hercules transport aircraft due to technical problems on the ground
News release | 04/13/2021 | 17:20

Both C-130 Hercules transport planes that would be dropping paratroopers and cargoes since Monday are on the ground.

The intention was that the Air Force would train in preparation for a deployment in Mali later this year.

The devices have to contend with technical defects.

One of the defective devices is expected to be ready for use again tomorrow evening.
Repairs to the other Hercules take longer.

The Air Force still has 2 C-130's, but they are currently under maintenance.

De boosdoener is verwijderd uit de C-130 Hercules. Een flexible joint bleed air was niet meer zo flexibel om mee te werken. Straks meer over de oefening
