Air Force may buy up to 100 Joint Cargo Aircraft
The USAF could increase its Joint Cargo Aircraft order from 70 to 100 according to Gen. Duncan McNabb, commander of Air Force Mobility Command.
McNabb based the numbers on a still-classified report that the Air Force requires about 400 C-130s. After factoring in C-130Hs and C-130Js, there is still a shortfall of 50 C-130s.
As the JCA has only half the load carrying capacity of the C-130J, 100 JCAs are thus needed.
