I think the C17 is a good idea....money well spent.
Droning back and forth half away around the world in a C130J is just inefficient.
But I would like to see the F111s zero timed and kept on....I think JSF is just toys for boys...the threat argument doesn't stand up in my opinion...we need it's payload range for this region...not fancy pants new age technology designed to survive in a threat environment that never seems to eventuate....does anyone honestly believe the indons or a terrorist group will field technology that can defeat the Pig fangs out at 600kts and 200' on a dark night?
JSF is just toys for boys...C17 is a necesity.
