Army turns down C-130J for Joint Cargo Aircraft
The competition to supply aircraft for the Joint Cargo Aircraft program has narrowed down to two aircraft.

Both Lockheed Martin's shortened C-130J and Raytheon/EADS's CN-235 are out of the race. The Army says the C-130J was disqualified because the aircraft lacked an FAA certification.

Lockheed says it plans to protest the decision.
