Global Partners Building Global Security: Lockheed Martin C-130J Super
Hercules is the Proven Airlifter of Choice Showcased at Paris Air Show

PARIS, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) officials
briefed reporters today at the Paris Air Show about the proven capabilities of
the C-130J Super Hercules, all of which are key components in aiding global
security. Attendees received insight into how the C-130J meets 90 percent of
the world's airlift needs, how the aircraft is used today and its future
capabilities.

More and more air forces worldwide are lining up to take advantage of the
C-130J's unique mix of agility and performance to deploy troops, transport
supplies and provide disaster and humanitarian relief to the most remote and
austere areas of the world. Within the last year, the C-130J family has
expanded to include Norway, India, Qatar, Iraq and Oman. Recently, the first
of 14 U.S. Air Force C-130Js to be based in Germany arrived at Ramstein Air
Base, bringing additional proven airlift solutions to Europe.

"While we've had a long-time C-130 Hercules presence in Europe with the United
Kingdom, Italy and Denmark, the recent arrival of the first C-130J at Ramstein
Air Base in Germany gives us another valuable opportunity to show Europe the
amazing abilities of this aircraft," said Ross Reynolds, Lockheed Martin
vice-president, C-130 programs. "One day, these C-130Js are involved in
humanitarian missions; the next, they are deploying to a combat theater.
Europe is seeing first-hand just how essential this plane is for air forces
worldwide every day."

With half-a-million flight hours on record thanks to six worldwide operators
flying six configurations of the aircraft, the C-130J has had ample
opportunities to show that it is proven in:

-- Design
-- Production
-- Multimission flexibility
-- Operations
-- Reliability and sustainability
-- Multirole capabilities
