Of course when I mention tactical operations I obviously mean aerial delivery/NVG type missions
.......somebody better pass that on to the C-17 boys then so that they can hand all their gogs etc. back in and spend less time chasing a BTR tick.....
It was probably the same clown that decided not to buy external tanks for the J
...Ermm....I stand to be corrected, but wasn't it (isn't it?) the case that the 'mighty' J is/was supposed to offer the same range/endurance
without external tanks?
It does have its weaknessess in areas where the J shines
...yeah, it can only carry 18 pallets as opposed to 8.....
(Edited for correct J pallet numbers...d'oh!)
