In early June Oman signed a contract with Lockheed Martin for the purchase of a C-130 Super Hercules plane, which will join the three C-130Hs that were purchased in the early 1980s.
Current plans call for production of Super Hornet to cease in 2015 as deliveries of the Lockheed plane ramp up, which would leave Boeing with no tactical-aircraft business serving domestic customers other than upgrade and logistics work.
