Aeritalia G222

Looking all the world like a 2 engine version of the C-130 Hercules, the Italian Aeritalia G222 was designed in 1970 for much the same purpose. The airplane first flew in 1976 and although it was good performer it wasn't a big seller, with the Italian air force being the biggest customer. The US bought a few, naming it the C2-A Spartan. This ad dates from the mid eighties and the 111 aircraft were built between 1970 and 1993.
