PZL M28 ~ Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) flys 10 M-28 Skytrucks — a light cargo and passenger plane since June of 2009. The Skytruck’s are able to shuttle small groups of special operators to remote areas with unimproved landing strips. It will be based at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., and like AFSOC’s other non-standard aviation assets including the PC-12 Pilatus. The Skytruck is a twin engine high-wing strutted monoplane, and it can carry 19 people in the back with a maximum take-off and landing weight on 16,534 pounds and a maximum cruise speed of 223 knots. It doesn’t carry any intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sensors. “The non-standard aviation is simply to haul people around. There is nothing really cosmic about it at all,” the Air Force said. |
