"we've also got a fair number of A400Ms due. And do I hear whispers about perhaps a few more C-17s? Some C130Ks are undergoing life-extension, so there'll actually be a pretty capable AR and AT force in 2010-ish."

Great, can't wait, more noisy, vibrating, uncomfortable cattle trucks. Those flights to Goose and the Gulf are going to be sooooo looked forward to. Mind you, we seem to go everywhere by C130 these days so replacing 28 aircraft with 16 probably won't make that much difference anyway!!

With much respect to Albert crews.
