The third and fourth C-130J Super Hercules transports for the Indian Air Force were flown from the Lockheed Martin facility in Marietta, Ga. en route to AFS Hindon, near Delhi, India, on 15 June 2011. The remaining two C-130Js on order for India will be delivered later this summer. The Indian C-130Js will be equipped with an infrared detection set to allow precision low-level flying, airdrops, and landing in blackout conditions. Neither the radome-mounted infrared sensor turret nor the removable air-to-air refueling probe was installed for the ferry flight.
