Rare French Visitor at LMML

Earlier this week a French Air Force CASA CN-235 visited LMML for a night stop. The CASA CN-235 is a key component of the French Air and Space Force’s transport capability. Introduced in 1991, the fleet now includes 27 aircraft in total, with 19 CN-235-200s and 8 CN-235-300s.

This compact twin-engine transport can accommodate around 40 passengers or about 5 tons of cargo, and its flexibility enables it to perform a wide range of missions, including troop movement, cargo transport from short or semi-prepared airstrips, medical evacuation, humanitarian support, and both parachute and cargo-drop operations.
