Onelink4travel Announces Financial Projections for 2005 and 2006

* 2005 Revenues Anticipated at $5.2 to $5.8 Million * Projected 2006 Figures Estimated to Increase to $42-$48 Million (Revenues), $11.5-$13 Million (Operating Income) as Core Service Debuts

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Onelink4travel, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: OLKT) , a provider of integrated global distribution and financial settlement services to the travel and tourism industry, today announced it anticipates solid revenues for its 2005 fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, and stronger revenue and income for its 2006 fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 based on the scheduled launch of its core travel industry reservation and settlement service by the end of 2005.

For 2005, Onelink4travel estimates it will realize total revenues of between $5.2 million and $5.8 million generated by continuing business operations from the company's two recently-acquired travel industry companies, now known as Onelink4travel Call Center Services and CCRA International. For 2006, Onelink4travel total revenues are expected to grow to between $42 million and $48 million, resulting in projected operating income of $11.5 million to $13 million for the year.

"Having fully integrated our two current business units, as well as completed most of the work necessary to launch our core product, we are pleased to announce our revenue projections," said Bill Guerin, chairman and CEO of Onelink4travel. "The robust revenue growth from 2005 to 2006 is based on the anticipated acceptance of our new services by travel agents and travel industry vendors. We believe that the ability of our product to relieve a major 'pain point' within the travel industry-namely the upfront financial settlement for lodging and other important travel services-will provide the foundation for a successful launch and resulting positive financial performance."

Onelink4travel currently employs more than 100 people in 15 U.S. states and the UK. The firm has grown significantly in 2005 through strategic acquisitions made to complement and support its upcoming core service offering. Onelink4travel's signature service will enable travel agencies to book and realize up-front commission for a range of non-airline travel services commencing with hotel rooms. On the supply side, hotel companies and eventually other types of vendors such as car rental suppliers and cruise lines should be able to benefit from new options in reservations and pre-paid income.

C-130J Super Hercules Demonstrates Transformational Performance and Capability in Southwest Asia

C-130J Super Hercules Demonstrates Transformational Performance and Capability in Southwest Asia

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) officials told reporters today at the Air Force Association's 2005 Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition that the C-130J Super Hercules is outperforming legacy air transport aircraft in combat operations by at least a two-to-one margin and the reliability is the highest of any aircraft in theater.

"Recent information pertaining to the C-130J's performance in Southwest Asia reveals that two Js are routinely moving the same amount of troops and equipment as three of the older E or H models," said Rob Weiss, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics vice president for Business Development. "This provides the combatant commander with additional resources to employ on other missions and most importantly, reduces risk exposure time for both crews and aircraft."

According to senior Air Force officials, the C-130J's additional power advantage has become more obvious, especially operating during the hot season in Southwest Asia. With temperatures regularly exceeding 120 degrees Fahrenheit, the older C-130s can be limited to as little as 2,000 pounds of cargo. Operating under the same conditions, Js are sometimes exceeding that load factor by more than 300%.

"The performance of the C-130J isn't the only advantage over earlier models," said Weiss. "The J's reliability far exceeds not only that of older C-130s, but also of other platforms in theater. Mission capable rates above 92% are the norm for the C-130J, and in some months the rate has even been 100%."

In addition, some operators are seeing less than two maintenance hours per flight hour, according to reports coming out of the theater. Legacy C-130s typically average around 20 maintenance hours per flight hour. One USAF C-130J flew 21 straight days of delivery operations, returning Code One every day, until being stood down for a routine maintenance check.

Ground operations are also more efficient in the dusty operations. "Crews can load and unload the C-130J while the engines are still running because the propellers produce no backwash at certain settings," said Weiss. "This feature also contributes to reduced sortie time and risk exposure."

Many countries are seeing the benefits that the aircraft brings. The Royal Air Force is conducting airdrop missions that were never possible with its older aircraft, Italy is constructing a forward C-130J deployment base in western Afghanistan, and Denmark has just completed its 100th C-130J landing at Kabul.

"Crews operating the C-130Js in theater are realizing very quickly that the aircraft can transform tactical airlift operations," Weiss concluded.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin employs about 130,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2004 sales of $35.5 billion.

Lockheed Martin Produces World's Only 5th Generation Fighters

Lockheed Martin Produces World's Only 5th Generation Fighters

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), producer of the world's only 5th generation fighter aircraft, today detailed the game-changing advantages and unmatched capabilities that only 5th generation fighters can bring to the United States and its allies. The company presented a top level view of a Tactical Aircraft operations study covering air dominance, advanced fighter aircraft, operations and sustainment (O&S) costs, the order of magnitude increase in capability provided by generation fighters, mix analysis of fighter capability and cost effectiveness associated with making decisions based on long-term best value.

Speaking to a group of reporters at the Air Force Association's 2005 Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition, Rob Weiss, vice president for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Business Development, said the company's F/A-22 and F-35 fighters are "game-changing systems and the world's only 5th generation fighter aircraft being produced or developed today -- or for the foreseeable future -- for use by the United States and its allies. Fifth generation fighters are clearly the best value for the money today and the only fighters that can survive and defeat the threats of tomorrow -- a critical aspect for a country with monumental domestic responsibilities and world leadership.

"We've launched the world into the 5th generation of military aviation," said Weiss. "In fact, we believe the F/A-22 and F-35 represent a major inflection point in military aviation, and all aviation for that matter. With the F/A-22 and the F-35, the United States and our international partners and allies will have a leading advantage once again over threats to air dominance.

"The synergy that results from combining Very Low Observable (VLO) stealth, speed, maneuverability, persistence, sensor fusion, improved sustainability and lean deployment in a single platform represents a quantum leap in capability, survivability and maintainability over all previous fighters," continued Weiss. "No other fighter in the world today besides the F/A-22 and F-35 can make that claim."

Weiss said the company has recently completed its study and is now in the process of presenting conclusions to customers and independent third-party experts for comment and feedback. While much of the report is classified and cannot be publicly released, Weiss shared some of the broader conclusions in general terms:

* Air dominance will remain the first priority of a joint or coalition
combatant commander in any theater. It gives U.S. military forces
access to enemy areas of vulnerability without exposing those same
forces to unacceptable losses.
* Advanced fighter aircraft, along with advanced surface-to-air missile
(SAM) systems and air-to-air missile (AAM) systems, are proliferating
worldwide and already represent a real threat to legacy aircraft.
These systems will have a substantial negative impact on America's
ability to gain and maintain air dominance in the future and could
have profound detrimental implications to U.S. security.
* Legacy fighters have served the U.S. well for decades but are aging
rapidly, incurring escalating operational & support (O&S) costs and
need to be modernized.
* 5th Gen Fighters (F/A-22 and F-35) will provide an order of magnitude
increase in effectiveness and survivability over legacy fighters.
* Compared to legacy fighters, an optimum mix of 5th Gen Fighters
provides the U.S. with a fighter fleet that is infinitely more agile,
lethal, survivable, persistent and deployable at significantly less
cost. Not only are fewer 5th Gen Fighters required to ensure air
dominance, the advanced fighters also require substantially fewer
support aircraft such as airlifters and tankers.
* 5th Gen Fighters are clearly the best value for the money today and
the only fighters that can survive and defeat the threats of tomorrow
-- a critical aspect for a country with significant domestic and
international responsibilities.

Weiss also questioned the FY06 Defense Budget's proposal to discontinue production of the F/A-22 after 2008 when the F-35 isn't scheduled for Initial Operational Capability (IOC) with the U.S. Air Force until 2013. He pointed out that F/A-22 production beyond 2008 would enable critical U.S. fighter force structure modernization until the F-35 is operationally proven, maintain over 40,000 jobs nationwide and preserve critical skills to keep the U.S. a technical and technological leader. It would also preserve options for additional F/A-22s in the form of derivatives to address emerging defense or homeland security needs or for potential future Foreign Military Sales (FMS).

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin employs about 130,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2004 sales of $35.5 billion.

PA Governor Rendell Announces New Guide for Wildlife Along Elk Scenic Drive in PA Wilds

PA Governor Rendell Announces New Guide for Wildlife Along Elk Scenic Drive in PA Wilds

HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Governor Edward G. Rendell today announced the availability of a new colorfully detailed adventure guide to 23 points of interest along the Elk Scenic Drive in the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds. The guide promotes some of Pennsylvania's most scenic regions, rich with outdoor activities.

"Pennsylvania's wild elk herd, the largest in the Northeast, brings more than 75,000 visitors to the Pennsylvania Wilds each fall," said Governor Rendell. "Our guide offers a journey through our natural wonders as visitors seek out the regal elk and other spectacular wildlife in a natural setting. Our new guide and signs will steer people to these unique destinations safely, and they might learn a thing or two about the culture, beauty and history of our state as well."

The Governor said that while people may be looking for close-to-home activities in an effort to conserve gas, the guide offers travelers a handy reference for convenient and interesting adventures in the heart of the commonwealth. He added that Pennsylvania Wilds is an initiative to encourage the growth of tourism and related businesses based on outdoor experiences in 12 counties in the Northcentral and Northwest regions of the state.

"The Elk Scenic Drive is a tremendous example of how revitalizing communities, attracting tourists, being good stewards of our resources and even good traffic management are cooperating forces," Governor Rendell said. "Pennsylvania's century-long commitment to conservation and stewardship has restored our forests and wildlife, and that helps make the Pennsylvania Wilds such a special place and terrific tourist destination."

The guide outlines a 127-mile corridor passing through Clinton, Clearfield, Centre and Elk counties. Two state scenic byways - Route 144 and Route 120 - are part of the drive, which takes travelers through three state forests and three state game lands. The drive runs along a spectacular loop between I-80's Penfield Exit 111 and Shoe Exit 147.

In addition to maps and directions, the guide provides write-ups for 23 locations that note the history of the area; natural features; elk viewing areas and wildlife to be on the lookout for; recreational opportunities such as hiking and fishing; and other tidbits of information.

At the Governor's direction, designation of the Elk Scenic Drive is a cooperative effort of the state departments of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Community and Economic Development (DCED) and Transportation (PennDOT).

Complementing the guide and enhancing the visitor's experience are 24 new interpretative panels at six newly developed locations and 150 guideposts erected along the drive to keep people on track and point out areas of interest.

Visitors also have the opportunity to interact with the Bugle Corps, a cadre of local volunteers from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and DCNR. They will be on hand at the following viewing areas in four prime areas in the heart of Pennsylvania's elk range -- Hick's Run, Sinnemahoning State Park, Hoover Farm and Beaver Dam.

These dedicated volunteers will be at the sites on weekends from September to mid-October. They will have spotting scopes, binoculars and materials pertaining to elk and wildlife found at these specific sites, along with additional maps and information about the local area.

The Elk Scenic Drive guides are available at tourist promotion agencies, PennDOT welcome centers, state parks and forests or by calling toll-free (800) 577-2029.

Outlined in the guide are some facts about the area that visitors might not know, such as:

- Elk aren't the only thing to see - be on the lookout for ospreys,
eagles, beaver, black bear, and many types of birds and butterflies.
- Parker Dam State Park is a great place to start your exploration along
the Elk Scenic drive because it has an array of habitats.
- The best time of day to see elk is the first hour of daylight and the
last hour before dark.
- The Marion Brooks Natural Area was named after a local resident
instrumental in establishing some of the first strip mine reclamation
laws in the state.
- Wykoff Run Natural Area is a great place for bird watching because of a
wide diversity of bird populations.
- A 26-mile equestrian trail is available at Thunder Mountain.
- The Bucktail Path Trail, named for a Civil War regiment, lets you see
rugged landscape that looks very similar to what the first settlers saw
when they came to the region.
- You can fish from your campsite in Kettle Creek State Park.
