国防部长朱迪思·柯林斯宣布，新西兰首架在美国生产的 C-130J 大力神运输机已成功完成首次试飞。 The first New Zealand C-130J Hercules to be produced in the US has successfully completed its first test flights, announced Defence Minister Judith Collins. 这架飞机是五架飞机机队的一部分，将取代已服役 50 多年的老旧 C-130H 机队。 This aircraft is part of a fleet of five, to replace the aging C-130H fleet that has been in service for over 50 years. C-130J 比其前代产品速度更快、航程更远、装载货物更多，为新西兰国防军提供了增强的能力。 The C-130J is faster, has a longer range, and holds more cargo than its predecessor, providing enhanced capabilities for the New Zealand Defence Force.
