Wednesday, April 8th, 2015
Lockheed Martin Corp. on Tuesday marked the 60th anniversary of the roll out and first flight of the first C-130 Hercules built in Marietta, Ga.
Gov. Nathan Deal reenacted the 1955 ceremony held at the Marietta plant by christening a C-130J Super Hercules with a bottle of Chattahoochee River water, just as Gov. Marvin Griffin did 60 years ago. Check out the venerable aircraft and the event today in the slideshow on the right.
