C-27J Spartan Production Planned for Jacksonville

According to multiple news reports on Friday, a consortium of L-3 Communications Holdings, Boeing, and Alenia North America are planning on constructing the C-27J Spartan cargo aircraft that they recently won the contract for at Cecil Field in Jacksonville, FL. That could mean test communications for area radio monitors to listen to in about a year or so.
