澳大利亚空军首架 C-27J 运输机(编入第35中队)离开汤斯维尔空军基地前往其驻地里士满空军基地。(A No 35 Squadron C-27J Spartan flies at low level shortly after departing RAAF Base Townsville. The first C-27J Spartan for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) touched down at RAAF Base Townsville on 24 June 2015, before travelling onwards to its new home of RAAF Base Richmond on 25 June 2015. The aircraft is the first of ten to enter service with No 35 Squadron, and will fulfil an airlift role between the Army rotary-wing fleet and Air Force's larger airlift transport aircraft. RAAF C-27J Spartans will provide airlift to Defence Operations in warlike environments, as well as support Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief missions, being able to deliver payloads and personnel to airfields that are unsuitable for larger aircraft.)
