• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

USCG's new Aircraft

The C-27J is a fine aircraft and I'm one who supported getting them for our Military but in the current fiscal climate, the money is being re-routed towards more C-130J's and other types. This could change later and more C-27J's could come about but with Boeing now partnering with Embraer on the C-390 Jet which has projected performance, range, and payload numbers that eclipse the C-27J and being in the same size range, I suspect the Air Force will be paying close attention to that aircraft and give it serious consideration for Utility & Special Operations roles.

I am glad the C-27J's that were mothballed are being sent to the CG. I hope Elizabeth City will get some of them? Would be great to see them overhead.
