Saudi C-130

Vector Aerospace Corporation in Toronto, Canada announced that it has been chosen as the preferred bidder for a 3-year contract to maintain and overhaul the Rolls Royce T56 engines used on the Royal Saudi Air Force fleet of C-130 military transport aircraft. The final contract with Vector’s UK subsidiary Sigma Aerospace is expected to be signed in the next month. Scramble notes that the Saudis base their C-130Es and C-130Hs out of Riyadh and Jeddah, though there are also some KC-130H aerial tankers at Price Sultan Air Base (Al Kharj, near Riyadh).
