 C-27J Team to Showcase the C-27J Spartan Military Transport Aircraft
               during the 128TH NGAUS General Conference

WHAT:     C-27J Team will exhibit and display a model of the C-27J
          Spartan Transport Aircraft, considered the best value
          solution for the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) program.  The
          C-27J Team is led by L-3 Communications Integrated Systems
          (L-3 IS) (NYSE:LLL), Finmeccanica's Alenia North America,
          Global Military Aircraft Systems (GMAS), and Boeing
          Integrated Defense Systems (NYSE: BA). The JCA program was
          established to address operational shortfalls and capability
          gaps within the existing U.S. Army and Air Force fleet of
          fixed-wing aircraft.

          The C-27J is a true multi-functional, military aircraft
          designed and built to support deployed soldiers "the last
          tactical mile" in the most remote and austere environments.
          It is the most rugged, versatile and survivable aircraft in
          its class and it fully meets all JCA key performance
          parameters.  The C-27J is also the only aircraft in its
          class that provides interoperability with Army and Air Force
          airlift assets, making it the best value solution for the
          JCA.
