Word is 35SQN will be resurrected within 84WG for the C-27Js and will be based at Richmond.

If the Penn-turbo or similar mod is such a good idea, why hasn't anyone else done it? It's time to step away from the 'upgrade 40+ year old airframes' mentality.

The C-27J will be a mini-Herc with some STOL capability, but nothing except a V-22 can replace a Caribou.
