C-27 Spartan

     Notes: The C-27 Spartan is the Italian G-222-710 aircraft in military paint.  The aircraft was adopted to provide the Air Force with a STOL transport suitable for use on unpaved airstrips.  The main difference between the Italian aircraft and the C-27 is the installation by Chrysler of upgraded navigation and communication systems.  The Spartan does not have ejection seats and cannot be refueled in the air.
