Jordan's new AC-235 light gunship made its public debut at the recent biennial Special Operations Force Exhibition and Conference (SOFEX) at the King Abdullah I Air Base in Amman. The opening event of SOFEX 2014, held between May 7 and 10, was an impressive special forces demonstration involving Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF) helicopters supported by a Schiebel S-100 Camcopter and an AC-235 light gunship. A second AC-235, which was only delivered a week before the show, was displayed in the static park. Developed by ATK of the US in partnership with the King Abdullah Ⅱ Design and Development Bureau (KADDB), the two AC-235S are operated by Jordan's Special Operations Command aviation component (5th Prince Hashim Royal Aviation Brigade).
