Many of the C-130s have fatigue cracks in the wing boxes, and that is severely affecting the entire fleet. I think the avionics upgrade will have to be pushed to the back burner. In any event, I think this avionics upgrade is just another opportunity by a defense contractor to milk more money out of the DoD teat.
