DBL,
"The Movers I've talked to hate it!"
I rest my case
Perhaps whilst we are on the subject DBL you could give us an account of your experiences working with the -4a as after almost 7 years of working on the J you have me a bit confused
Only a couple of weeks working with C130Js and C17s alongside RAF Movers on Magic Carpet a couple of years ago. My apologies, I am probably using all the wrong terminology. My recollection was that the 'slats' on the Hercules were flat one side, rollers the other but have since been corrected. Stand aside that, the C-17 seemed oh so much simpler, with the 'slats' remaining in the floor and just requiring a spin to alter configuration.
I'll wind my neck in now and remember to not spout forth when I know very little of what I'm talking about...
