Final Ocean Sentry Conducting Test Flights

摘要

The final Airbus Defence and Space HC-144A Ocean Sentry for the US Coast Guard was noted during a test flight at Seville-San Pablo Airport in Spain on August 6. The aircraft (2318, msn C-211) is the last of 18 HC- 144As on order, after plans to acquire additional examples were abandoned following an agreement with the US Air Force to transfer surplus Alenia C-27J Spartans to the maritime service.
