The acquisition of this aircraft further establishes Derco as a source for
well-maintained L-100/C-130 aircraft. The acquisition took place following the
successful inspection of the aircraft by Lockheed Martin-approved repair
facility Sabena technics, a subsidiary of TAT Group. With the revalidation of
the aircraft's airworthiness certification and official aircraft transfer to
Derco, the aircraft is immediately available for sale to the worldwide
L100/C130 community.

With only 118 L-100-30s produced for the civil market, this aircraft is
uniquely suited to operate as either a commercial or military platform because
of its payload capacity and spacious cargo compartment. The aircraft has been
well maintained by its single owner.

"We are pleased with the successful collaboration between Sabena technics and
Derco Aerospace to bring this well-maintained aircraft to market," said Brian
Holt, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Derco Aerospace. "This
aircraft has extremely low flying hours and provides potential buyers with the
opportunity to expand their C-130 or L-100 fleets without the cost associated
with acquiring a new aircraft."
