MARIETTA, Georgia, October 12, 2004 -- Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] and the U.S. Air Force recorded two major milestones in the C-5 Galaxy modernization effort last week. The first production aircraft modified under the C-5 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) was completed, and that aircraft was then delivered to Lockheed Martin to begin the Reliability Enhancement and Re-engining Program (RERP). “These modernization programs ensure that the C-5 fleet will be viable for the next 40 years,” said June Shrewsbury, Lockheed Martin’s vice president of strategic airlift. “The avionics upgrades provide the crews with a modern cockpit and improved safety of flight, while the reliability enhancement and re-engining program delivers the performance expected by the warfighter. We look forward to demonstrating these enhancements to the Air Force. Modernization of the C-5 fleet represents an exceptional fiscal value and makes a significant contribution toward filling future airlift requirements.”
