C-23 Sherpa
The C-23 Sherpa is a multi-role military variant of the 330-200 twin turboprop regional airliner. The latter is out of production, but the company is buying back Shorts 360s from airlines to meet additional US Army demand for the type. The USAF ordered 18 C-23As, powered by the PT6A-45R engines, for high-priority distribution in Europe.
