Canadian Forces cast about for used Hercules airframes

How realistic is this plan, anyway? Are there any C-130 airframes out
there to be had? Or, like John Cleese in the Cheese Shop sketch, is this
an act of the purest optimism on the part of the procurement folks to
pose the question in the first place.

Seeing how the canForces has 3 of the last C-130(L100) made I think it's
unlikely they'll find any C-130 with enough life on the airframes to
provide spares for the 32 CC-130 we operate. Personally we should look at
the C-130J
