Grats to the Canadian forces, let's hope they get the whole.

I was hoping the USAF would get the original 180 or so C-17's ... but that buy got cut.
Not to nit-pick, but the USAF actually bought more than the original 180 C-17s - over 220 in fact (although IIRC the rate was somewhat slower than originally planned).
