Shorts 360 Constant Hawk system heads for Iraqi theatre

The US military is to launch surveillance operations over Iraq using a modified Shorts 360 transport, following the aircraft's deployment via London Southend airport in the UK earlier this month.

The Constant Hawk system is being operated by Air Cargo Carriers of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which suffered a fatal mid-air collision with an initial two modified aircraft last February.
