C-27J

[edit]

If the C-27J wins the US JCA competition, I plan on splitting the C-27J models off to their own page. If not, I don't forsee a problem leaving them here, as there is not really enough content otherwise. I will try to add some specs on the J in the next few days. - BillCJ 06:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

With the award of the JCA contract to the C-27J, I have created a new page at Alenia C-27J. - BillCJ 07:53, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Face off

[edit]

There should be a paragraph comparing G2226C27 to the C-160 Transall, because these two compete for many markets against each other. Supposedly G222 has wider body and is generally better, more modern. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.131.210.162 (talk) 13:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

C-27A Spartan

[edit]

I have multiple print and online sources, most pre-dating the C-27J program start, that list the US version as the C-27A Spartan. Nowhere in those sources is this name applied to the G.222, nor is it claimed that Aeritalia/Alenia named the aircraft "Spartan". These include:

  • Donald, David (2000). The Encyclopedia of World Military Aircraft. NY, NY: Barnes & Noble. p. 426. ISBN 0-7607-2208-0. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help)
  • Frawley, Gerard (2002). The International Directory of Military Aircraft, 2002-2003. Fyshwick, ACT, Australia: Aerospace Publications Pty Ltd. p. 44. ISBN 1-875671-55-2.
  • Globalsecurity.org C-27 Spartan page
  • Deagle G.222 page
  • http://aeroweb.brooklyn.cuny.edu/specs/chrystle/c-27a.htm
  • The Aviation Zone C-27/G.222 page

The more recent source also list the "C-27J" as being named "Spartan". THis is not a contradiction, but simply a continuation of the designation and name as applied to the US C-27A.

Anyone can claim to be anything on WP, therefore any claims must be backed up by Reliable Sources, and those sources must be Verifiable. - BillCJ (talk) 20:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found an official L-3 release which calls both the C-27A and C-27J the "Spartan". For those who don't know, L-3 is the prime contractor on the USArmy/AF C-27J program. I have also found this release from Finmeccanica, which uses the full phrase "C-27A Spartan" in four places. Again, for those who don't know, Finmeccanica is the parent company of Alenia. I really hope that last release settles the issue here. - BillCJ (talk) 20:39, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if it helps but the DoD Model Designation of Military Aerospace Vehicles May 2004 does not list a popular name . MilborneOne (talk) 20:45, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incident

[edit]

Incident in 2002 A G.222 crashed at Riat Raf Fairford in 2002! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.39.39.155 (talk) 21:12, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it notable? Without sources of some kind, we can't know. - BillCJ (talk) 21:42, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not really notable it was showing of with a steep landing and broke the nose wheel skidded along the runway with a bit of a fire from the nose wheel bay. Crew walked away aircraft repaired. Probable interest as accident had a large (tens of thousands of spectators) audience so lots of pictures on net and video is viewable on YouTube etc. MilborneOne (talk) 21:57, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Falklands War usage

[edit]

Are there any references to Argentine Army use during the Falklands War? Certainly there seems to be no coverage in Burden et al's Falklands The Air War, which seems to cover virtually every other Argentine type.Nigel Ish (talk) 13:31, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They are mentioned in the Air War book on p 170 which reviews the Army Serial block, it says three were delivered (two in 1977 and one in 1978) They are also mentioned in the CAE order of battle (p.158) as being operated by CAAG601. As you say it doesnt mention any involvement in the Falklands Campaign and I understand they were allocated to the 4th Airborne Infantary Brigade which I dont think took part in the invasion and subsequent bun fight (but I dont have a ref for that!). MilborneOne (talk) 17:14, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that there's an issue here; I'm not certain that they were actually used, only that they were 'available' according to what I've been able to access. It would be nice to have a definative answer as to if operations on the Falklands using them actually did happen, however logical it might have been for them to happen, I'd rather an account that wasn't so vague.
