C-130J: Coolest Thing Made in Georgia Finalist

Friends of Cobb County,

We’re proud to share that the C-130J Super Hercules, built in Cobb County for the last 70 years by generations of Georgia-based team members, has reached the final round of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce’s Coolest Thing Made in Georgia competition.

This isn’t just a proud moment for Lockheed Martin. It’s a chance to recognize the tens of thousands of Georgians whose seven decades of work on the C-130 program has helped power our state’s economy and aerospace ecosystem – and strengthened national and global security.

📌 Fast facts about the Hercules in Georgia:

  • 16,000+ direct and indirect jobs supported statewide, including 5,500+ in Cobb County alone
  • $4.5 billion in annual economic impact
  • Proudly flown by Airmen at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Moody Air Force Base, and Savannah ANG Base
  • Trusted by the U.S. military and 70 allied nations

Now we’re asking for your help to bring this honor home to Cobb!

🗳 Vote here through 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 8: www.coolestthingmadeinga.com/voting

Thank you for your support of this program — and for helping us shine a light on one of Georgia’s most enduring contributions to our nation and the world.
