Cascade Aerospace celebrated the 100th delivery of a C-130 Hercules aircraft from its base in Abbotsford to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) on Tuesday, following scheduled maintenance.
This marks a milestone for Cascade and its multi-year contract with the RCAF as the prime contractor responsible for program management, engineering, maintenance, material and technical support for Canada’s fleet of C-130 Hercules aircraft.
Canada’s C-130 fleet has a proven record of fulfilling multi-mission roles including troop transport, tactical airlift, search and rescue, air-to-air refueling, and aircrew training.
As an authorized Lockheed Martin C-130 service center and one of only two Lockheed Martin authorized C-130J heavy maintenance centers in the world, Cascade provides modernization programs and in-service support to Canadian and international C-130 fleets to ensure the aircraft can be safely operated for many years of additional service.
