Lockheed/Aleina C27J Spartan
The USAF leased some Italian G222 transports for use at Howard AFB in the Panama Canal zone. They needed a unique aircraft to operate from small unprepared strips. When they pulled out of the canal zone the worn out old planes were retired but the USAF was suitably impressed soLockheed teamed up with Aleina to build a modernised version of the G222. The C27J shown here is one of the first prototypes.
The hugely popular CN235 medium transport is used as a Maritime Patrol Aircraft by the Irish Air Corps.
