Arie Church - 11/17/2014
The Coast Guard took delivery of the first of 14 former Air National Guard C-27J transports it is slated to receive.
The airplane, which formerly served at the Mississippi ANG's schoolhouse at Key Field in Meridian, was ferried on Nov. 13 from the Air Force’s aircraft boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., to CGAS Elizabeth City, N.C., according to the boneyard’s Facebook page.
Technicians will refurbish the second C-27J destined for the Coast Guard for delivery by the end of November, Teresa Pittman, spokeswoman for Davis-Monthan’s 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, told Air Force Magazine.
She noted that the first C-27J was stored still in Army markings left over from the time of the joint Air Force-Army C-27 program.
The Coast Guard is passing seven HC-130s to the US Forest Service and curtailing its buy of HC-177 search aircraft in exchange for the C-27Js.
This move is expected to save the Coast Guard approximately one-half billion dollars in acquisition costs.
The rest of the Air Force’s 21 C-27s are earmarked for transfer to US Special Operations Command.
The first of the Air Force’s divested C-27J transports slated for transfer to the Coast Guard, shown here, departed the Air Force’s aircraft boneyard in Arizona for Elizabeth City, N.C., on Nov. 13, 2014.

L' affaire afgano brucia ancora .....

Fonte ..... il 'Daily Report' dell' AFA .....Afghan Air Force Procurements Under Scrutiny .....
Marc V. Schanz - 11/19/2014
Multiple investigations for auditing purposes and to identify potential criminal violations are underway into US-handled aircraft procurements for the Afghan air force, John Sopko (*), special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction, told reporters on Tuesday.
(*) ..... http://www.sigar.mil/about/leadership/ig-sigar.html
The United States has the goal of building the AAF into a sustainable air arm.
However, some of these efforts, such as the acquisition of 20 C-27A transports for the Afghans wound up being excessively wasteful, said Sopko during the press roundtable in Washington, D.C.
The Air Force, for example, ended up selling the Afghan C-27s for scrap after there were extensive problems with the airplanes.
"They didn’t fly and didn’t work," said Sopko.
His office, known as SIGAR, estimates that the total cost of the C-27 contract amounted to between $600 million and $800 million, although his auditors have not yet determined a full accounting of the costs.
"We want to find out why [the purchase was made] and see if there are lessons learned," he added.
The planned acquisition of additional Mi-17 helicopters for the AAF was problematic as well, he said.
That's because the Afghans had difficulty flying and maintaining their existing Mi-17 fleet, and SIGAR saw no need to add new-build airframes to it, he said.

Although the C-27J's 11-tonne payload and 4,018 km (with a 6,000 kg payload) range are in excess of the IAF's request for proposals (RfP), the MTA requirement is very much in the class of the C-27J.
Sarà vero ?E' stato anche rivelato a Aeronautica & Difesa che il costo da sostenere per partecipare alla gara in India sarebbe stato troppo elevato, in questa fase di riduzione delle spese imposta alle aziende del gruppo Finmeccanica.

“Both aircraft landed safely with no reported injuries to aircrew or civilians, although each aircraft sustained some damage,” states the release.
Both aircraft were conducting routine, but separate training missions.
There were eight people on board the C-130H at the time, and five people aboard the C-27J, said officials.
