FARNBOROUGH AIRSHOW: LOCKHEED MARTIN GETS LM-100J CUSTOMER Lockheed Martin has obtained a letter of intent from South African company ASL Aviation Group for 10 LM- 100J Super Hercules, the civilian version of Lockheed’s military cargo transport C-130J Super Hercules. The C-130J can carry up to 18 tonnes of cargo and is used by 15 nations. Announced on 16 July at the Farnborough In- ternational Airshow, ASL expects to turn the letter of intent into a fi rm order over the next 18 months for 10 LM-100J, which would replace its fl eet of nine L-100 starting in 2018. The L-100 is the LM-100J’s predecessor. The 2018 LM-100J delivery date is dependent on the US government’s Federal Aviation Adminstration (FAA) certi- fying the aircraft for civilian use. It is only being certifi ed for cargo, the LM-100J is not being approved for carrying passengers. ASL has been using Boeing 737-400 Combis as back- up as it transitions its fl eet from its old L-100, but the -400 are unable to fulfi l the roles of air drop and fi re fi ghting, both services ASL provides. The LM-100J will be able to carry 33 per cent more cargo than its predecessor, the L-100, which was last marketed in the 1990s. More than 100 L-100s were produced from 1964 to 1992.
