AIRBUS MILITARY announced on December 12 that the Mexican Air Force has taken delivery of a new C295 aircraft that it had ordered from Airbus Military. This order is in addition to the five C295s delivered last year and that the Mexican Secretary of Defence already operates.
The primary use of the aircraft will be transport of troops and paratroops. It can also be readily configured for medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) or can carry up to nine tonnes of palletized or bulk cargo.
The capabilities of the C295 aircraft make it ideal for military missions, both tactical and logistic, as well as for civic/humanitarian missions in which its short take-off and landing (STOL) abilities are essential to provide access to remote locations.
When a customer comes back, that is due to the high quality of the product. We are proud to provide the Mexican Air Force a new C295 to keep on fulfilling the most demanding requirements from the Mexican Secretary of Defence, said Airbus Military Head of Programmes, Rafael Tentor.
The Mexican Air Force, Navy, and Federal Police have acquired products from the entire family of Airbus Military Light and Medium aircraft including: ten C295 (including this latest delivery), seven CN235 (six of them in Maritime Patrol version), and ten C212 (eight of them in Maritime Patrol version).
To date, Airbus Military has sold 86 C295 to 14 different operators.

Using a recaptcha to prove you're not a script

Spam is a scourge for all websites, so webmasters have to take measures to ensure that thier sites are protected. One of the best ways of protecting a site is to create a task on the signup/commenting forms, that only a human can do with reasonable accuracy. CAPTCHAs ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") as shown below ask you to read some distorted text, which the average computer finds very hard to do.

You can use the control buttons in the captcha to help you as follows.

Refresh Button - If you're having trouble working out the words to enter, you can request a new set of words, without having to submit your form by pressing the refresh button.

Audio Button - Alternatively if you have trouble with your vision, you can use the audio CAPTCHA, pressing the audio button will playback a set of words for you to type in.

The words you enter need not have the same uppercase/lowercase as the images shown, the system ignores case, likewise it only uses the characters a-z and 0-9, so you dont have to enter any odd characters, accents etc.
