Sherpas for Estonia

摘要

Two of the eight Shorts C-23B+ Sherpas recently retired by the US Army are being donated to the Estonian Air Force. The aircraft will replace two Antonov An-2s in the light transport role and the seven pilots currently assigned to the An-2s will shortly begin conversion training, with delivery of the aircraft anticipated later this year. The remaining six airframes have been earmarked for the Philippines (two for the army and two for the coast guard) and Djibouti (two for the air force).
