Im suprised that GAF are going to restart the Nomad line as it had a reputation for being incredibly unreliable and expensive to operate.

To me the aircraft looks like a stretched Shorts 360. The Shorts are now showing their age and are in need of replacement by the cargo carriers that operate them. From the blurb on the website the ability to quickly roll containers on and off will be a big bonus. Also as a pure built freighter there will be fewer compromises when compared to pax converted freighters.

Is this the DC3 replacement?
