Why are you obsessed with C-27j Spartans.I mean yea,it is a superior American machine(like all of them),both as a transport and attack craft,but I can't understand the mania.

One of my favourite planes and it is not American. Anyway some people are obsessed with Sicilian nightclubs showing swarthies. I suppose a Spartan is better than nightclub of Swarthies! Did you see the video. Classify Marco.

Its basically a reduced C-130 Hercules,the design is the same,just less size and only 2 engines.It is using all American design,engines,systems.

To me it is an American aircraft,no matter where it is made.

It maybe considered a half Hercules, but the design is totally Italian.
