C-27J Gunship & USAF PC-12

Our friends at Aviation Week are reporting that AFSOC will be building a low cost “proven technology” C-127J gunship “Lite”.

Also, It looks like the U.S. military will be buying some PC-12s for “low profile” special ops airlift missions plus some as comm relay platforms.
