Meanwhile - in the offices of Marshalls - a telephone rings and a receptionist answers, then patches the call through to a Manager ... "Sire, a gentleman enquires if we can furnish two C-130J's for the Canadian register no later than March 2025 - to be based/operated from EGSC".
Do the 212 (and Skyvan) meet the 20K altitude requirement? I was thinking more CN-235/C-27 types
