The US Air Force successfully operated a fleet of about 20 of these in the 1990’s.
There is no reason they could not be supported now especially since the engines are American GE turbo props, the Props are American Hartzells, the avionics are American and much of the small parts and actuators are American as well, nor is there any reason to scrap them.
Something is way wrong here
You better believe an Obama crony is getting paid somewhere!
