India to get its 1st C-17 in a week
June 11, 2013: Next Monday, the Hindon Air Force Station will receive its first Boeing Defense C-17 Globemaster III heavy-lift transport aircraft. The aircraft will be followed by two more by August at which time a formal commissioning ceremony will be held for the squadron.
Hindon, notably, also houses the 77 Veiled Vipers squadron that houses US-built Lockheed-Martin C-130J Super Hercules tactical transports. All 10 C-17s will be delivered to the IAF at Hindon by the end of 2014. The Indian Air Force will also take a call on a follow-on order of 10 more aircraft by December this year. With Boeing's Long Beach C-17 facility winding down production by next year, the Indian Government will need to confirm its final order quickly, or be satisfied with a fleet of 10 aircraft. An internal assessment suggests that the IAF would like to operate 20-25 C-17 aircraft. India and the US concluded a $4.1-billion deal for 10 C-17s in June 2011.
