Colombia requests three surplus C-130H from US
Citat: The Fuerza Aérea Colombiana (FAC, Colombian Air Force) has requested the United States to transfer three C-130H Hercules. Negotiations concerning this transfer have been ongoing since mid-2017. The interest of the FAC is for three aircraft from Systems, Weapons and Excess Defense Items (EDA), all of which were valued at 30 million dollars, but at unit prices of twelve million dollars.
Colombia intends to replace its last three eldery C-130Bs that are still in service with Escuadrón de Transporte Aereo 811 at Bogota-El Dorado with these three aircraft, which will augment three C-130H already in service. In 2004, US Congress approved the delivery of four former USAF C-130E aircraft but this sale was never materialized.
