K20 Cargoster leaves service

The final 2 K20 Cargoster transports have been withdrawn from Clone Air Force service. The K20, derived from the CCA 420 regional airliner, has served as a personnel transport and systems calibration plane for nearly 2 decades but is now being replaced by the similar but more advanced K38 Skyshuttle.

This completes the withdrawal of the older types in the CAF transport fleet which has been standardised in order to improve fleet utilisation and reduce costs. In other CAF transport news the K48 Cargolifter order has been increased to 24 from 18 outstanding.
