Depends on how big an airframe you want. If you need a C130 sized flying boat, you buy US2s. If the need is for ~16-18 paratroops, you can get the CL415.


I suspect AFSOC would ideally want both, just because CL415s are cheaper to operate than a US2 for those times you don't need a US2/C130 sized cargo bay.


But if they're choosing for supplying Marines on islands, I suspect the need is for a US2 and they'll suck up the greater operating expenses compared to a CL415.
