SUMMARY LOG
Report No: C/KC/HC/MC-130J Visual Specification
Model: C-130J MATS
Type SCN: Formal
Note: This Specification was originally part of the Attachment 11 to the FA8621-11-C-6288 Contract. This Specification was ported to the FA8621-17-F-0026 Contract as part of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) Trainer Bundle as part of P00002. This Specification is listed as Revision Initial, however, the Visual Production Specification had multiple iterations prior to incorporation as an Attachment to the FA8621-11-C-6288 Contract.
