Even the 16 Lybian Airforces Tyne powered G-222 aren't flying,...hang on, they were spares embargoed weren't they? , and, though low timed, have since suffered Primus maximus hull corrosion by coalition LGBs. B) Sounds like the USAF, with Alenia's Agreement coming, has a market for its ex USAF ANG C-27Js now :ph34r:
