That aircraft is expected to be delivered in 2012. The two additional aircraft will be delivered in late 2013 and early 2014. The first Omani Super Hercules will be a longer configuration aircraft (112 feet, 9 inch long fuselage), while the additional C-130Js will be shorter configuration aircraft (97 feet, 9 inch fuselage).
