willedoo Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 A couple of links for anyone interested in the Caribou replacement contenders. The Airbus Military site has links to their contender, the C-295, as well as our future tanker, the A330 MRTT (KC-30A), currently undergoing operational test & evaluation by the RAAF: http://www.airbusmilitary.com/ Cheers, Willie.
Spin Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Seen some videos of the Spartan demos - be good for local airshows if nothing else! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9m96d_c-27-j-1_tech#rel-page-7
willedoo Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 Looks like they've gone with the Spartan. I thought the reason they were originally leaning towards it was because of US operation of it as well, but the US military has dropped it: http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/australia-to-buy-aircraft-the-us-rejected/story-e6frfku0-1226352411129 Cheers, Willie.
