Your right, however the Marrietta, Ga. plant was shut down years ago. They don't make them anymore.

One untrue statement, one true one. First, the Marietta plant is still open, making the C-130J and the F-22. Second, the P-3 was never made in Marietta. It came out of the California factory. (And third, note proper spelling for Marietta.)

But a line could be set up somewhere. The dies and tools still exist. I recall that the C-130 also has parts that are common with the Electra and P-3.
