They used to be in and out of LUX every day. They're good aircraft,built like brick outhouses. Always let down (in Europe) by their staggering noise. (Buster, you know where I lived on the 06 approach).
40ish tons, rough field capable, rear-ramp loading, built-in cranes & winches.
Remember when we looked at the MD-17?....
