Zitat:Sweden mothballs quarter of C-130H fleet, looks to type replacement
Sweden has begun reducing its operational Lockheed Martin C-130H Hercules fleet as it looks for a replacement for the ageing airlifters, a service official disclosed on 29 April.
Speaking at the home of F17 Wing's forward dispersal base on the island of Gotland, Colonel Marcus Bjorkgren, Chief of Staff of the Swedish Air Force (SwAF), said that two of the country's eight C-130H aircraft had been flown to Marshall Aerospace in the UK, where they are to remain.
