Known as the “Med Express”, this poster depicts a Sicily, Italy based C – 26D Metroliner operated by the NAS Sigonella Air Operations Department flying past the scenic town of Positano along the Amalfi Coast .

The Fairchild C – 26 “Metroliner” is the designation for the Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner series twin turboprop aircraft in the service of the United States military . The C – 26A is the military version of the Model SA227 – AC Metro III; the C – 26B is the military version of the Model SA227 – BC Metro III and Model SA227 – DC Metro 23; and UC – 26C is the military designation for the Model SA227 – AT Merlin IVC.
