The SA Air Force (SAAF) denied on Friday that its fleet of C130 Hercules aircraft was not airworthy.
The SAAF was responding to news reports and remarks by some defence attaches based in Pretoria that the aircraft, in use with 28Squadron, appeared to be unsafe.
Two of the five at 28Squadron were currently undergoing "deep level and intermediate service, leaving three that are serviceable and flying", Maseko said.
