Alenia C-27J Spartan




Alenia C-27J Spartan
 This cargo plane is a military transport aircraft manufactured by Alenia which later became Leonardo Aircraft Division.  The 179th ANG flew it from 2010 to 2013.

It has two Rolls-Royce AE 2100 engines and six-blade propellers.  The C-130 has four of the same engines.

 I think Shared Brown was instrumental is getting the C-130 returned to the 179th, saving jobs and income in Mansfield.

 I read somewhere that the plane had problems with control linkage.
