Alenia c 27j %28pratica di mare%29 edit1
The attached article refers the new C-27 which Congress axed because these planes are not needed and therefore the problem is they were built already and now are to be trashed. A waste of money for sure but let's be honest I am certain that some Congressional people knew of this contract.

My feelings are these planes created jobs and revenue but now they are not needed. What is your take because I do not want people to assume that active duty and Veterans are taking a hit for something they knew nothing about.

Not sure that I understand how there would be ZERO use for them.

Still on track as per a briefing from the former Commander of Air Combat Command (COMACC). The Air Force is all about things that rumble and have pointy noses.

Congress wants to fly first class, and Congress paid for them, so...
