As Flight's Italy Special Report is published you'll find a selection of Italian-themed aircraft images thoruhgout the week.
Today's image is of an Alenia C-27J Spartan.
Flightglobal reported in 1999 how Alenia and Lockheed Martin rolled out its first C-27J Spartan.
... and some images of Italy taking delivery of first of 12 C-27J Spartans developed by Alenia with Lockheed Martin.
PLUS this profile of the aircraft including its general arrangement, a cutaway drawing and a link to Flight's test pilot Mike Gerzanics verdict on its handling.

Dear Sir,
I loved this shot of the C-27 in flight, however there appears to be an enormous dust spot above the wing on the left of the photo. This does detract from the photo quite alot.
Perhaps a "quick" edit would restore the photo to an excellent shot.
Regards
