The first C-27J Next Generation has flown with a new camouflage color scheme that may give a hint about the undisclosed first customer.
On Dec. 16, 2020, the first C-27J Next Generation, with experimental serial number CSX62319, flew for the first time from Turin Caselle airport, home of Leonardo’s facilities, sporting a brand new, quite “exotic” color scheme.
In fact, while still in its primer paint in the images released by Leonardo last month, the shots taken by photographer Alessandro Maggia at Caselle today show the Next Generation Spartan with a new two-tone camo scheme that may give a hint about the “undisclosed customer” which ordered the next generation Spartan and should be receive the first C-27J NG in 2021.
