Cool: ND Air National Guard New Mission -- C-27J (Not a Bakken Story)

From the Minot Daily News:

After ending a 60-year fighter aircraft mission in 2007, the 118th Wing members began flying the C-21 Lear Jet as a bridge mission to keep the pilots and the aircraft maintainers certified until the new C-27 mission begins at the 119th Wing in early 2013.

 The air base at Great Falls, Montana, will also be getting a C-27J mission.
