The Turkish Air Force will receive the first two C‑130J‑30 Super Hercules aircraft in December 2026, with the aircraft prepared at Marshall Aerospace facilities in Cambridge, UK where maintenance and painting are largely complete.
The delivery is part of a 2025 agreement for 12 aircraft, with the remaining ten to be delivered in later years, and includes a program covering planned maintenance, spare parts, technical equipment, training and long‑term support, including replacement of central wing boxes before service entry.
Training for Turkish personnel involves six pilots and six technicians training in the United States and 29 maintenance personnel training in the United Kingdom.
