The 2,300th production Hercules came off the assembly line at Lockheed Martin in Marietta, Georgia, on 4 October. The milestone aircraft, a KC-130J Super Hercules tanker, was delivered to VMGR-352 at MCAS Miramar, California, in late November. This delivery marks the second time the Marine Corps received a milestone Hercules — the 1,800th aircraft, a KC-130R tanker. The Hercules is flown by sixty-four countries. More than seventy variants have been developed. The C-130J combat delivery and KC-130J tanker models of the Super Hercules are the latest variants to come off the longest continuously operating military aircraft assembly line in history.
