Afghan Air Force G222 MM65212

Post by Coldwater »

The Combined Air Power Transition Force (CAPTF) in Afghanistan now uses three G.222/C-27A tactical airlifters overhauled and upgraded by Alenia Aeronautica in its facilities at Capodichino (Naples). The aircraft was completed in mid-December 2009 and was ferried by a United States Air Force crew, entering service with the Afghanistan National Army Air Corps (ANAAC) immediately upon arrival. Built with construction number 4090, it was originally used by the Italian Air Force. It is part of an 18-aircraft contract with the USAF which calls for an aircraft to be delivered every 45 days.
