This is a special offer from the Vollmerian Government and VAC.
Recently the Vollmerian Airforce started to replace its ageing fleet of C-130s, VAC a private company was asked to develop/offer this FLA (Future Large Aircraft) and the result was the AN-70(or 77), the aircraft was approved and the first 10 went into service 2 days ago.
Since there is no need to hurry production we tought we'd offer this aircraft in limited number to other countries, at a fair price.

Price:
Now here is a little problem, the aircraft was produced in its original Russian form with D-27s, so a new model had to be made for NATO requirements, this westernized model has CFM56 engines and offcourse western avionics, making the west-model (designation AN-77) a lttle bit more expensive
We can currently offer only about 200 off these aircraft, as production is still in its beginning phase, more are to be offered later.
AN-70: 50 million (including spare parts)
AN-77: 55 million (including spare parts)
Questions? do not hesitate to ask.
ooc: i'm not around all the time but i will try to jump in here and help out possible customers.
