So, why not make it a combined 235/295 topic then? :thumbsup:

Here's a C.235 from the Moroccan Airforce, pic taken at Volkel airbase this June:

And a Polish AF C.295, at the same event:

Hope to see some more pics.

Looks like a C-27.

Is it this?

Curt

Your pic is indeed a C-27. A C-27J to be precise, which is a further development of the Italian designed C-27A (Alenia G.222 is the original designation) with C-130J avionics and engines etc.

The C.235 is a Spanish design, produced by CASA in Spain and the C.295 is a strechted, modernised version of it.

Pete: the 235 is fair game here!

Curt:

The CASA 295 and C-27 do bear a resemblance as they are built for the same reasons and are actually in competition with each other for customers.

The Czech airforce chose the 295 to replace the An-26 after quite lengthy deiberations between the 295 and the C-27.

Last I heard, Canada was still deciding between the 295 and the C-27 for a CC-115 Buffalo replacement. Either aircraft would look super cool in Canada's yellow and red SAR scheme.

One thing I can't get over is how small the vertical fin looks in relation to the rest of the plane, particularly how narrow the chord is.

Well, since it is farther back than on, say, a C-130 it has more momentum, so it can be smaller.

Cheers,

Andre
