The problem with that scenario is that the previous aircraft for that role is now a museum piece. When I was still an instructor flying with Airforce pilots in Duchesses (The windscreen needs cleaning-here's some Mr Sheen and a clean rag fill your boots!) they were desk bound working on the Caribou replacement and the C-27 was being looked at then. Although back then it didn't have a military designation and I think the Indonesians were manufacturing it under license. I'm sure I have a photo of one at a Schofields airshow!
