C-27J Spartan Training

[OBIO]

I live 3 miles due East of the tail end of runway 14 of KMFD (Mansfield Lahm Regional), home of the 179th Air Lift Wing. Currently, the 179th has C-130H Hercules, but will be losing them and getting new C-27J Spartans.

Just heard on the local news, the commander of the 179th has announced that the unit is one of two Air Lift Wings being looked at to become the Training Unit for the C-27J...meaning the 179th would train pilots and crew from other air lift units to put the C-27J to maximum use.

If this happens, I will be seeing the Spartan A LOT!
