The Royal Canadian Air Force formally accepted the seventeenth CC-130J Super Hercules in ceremonies at the Lockheed Martin facility in Marietta, Georgia, on 8 May 2012. This delivery completes an order placed in December 2007. Deliveries began in June 2010. This aircraft (RCAF serial number 130617) was flown to its operating base at 8 Wing Trenton, Ontario, on 11 May. To date, Lockheed Martin has delivered more than $350 million in industrial and regional benefits to Canadian industry as a result of the Government of Canada's procurement of the CC-130J aircraft and in-service Support.
