Cool

I hate to say it guys, but how much distance do you need to land a C17. Coz looking at all the photos that have been published you can bet your bottom dollar that at present there are some huge craters in the middle of the primary runways. From what I understand the herc crews have been landing on the taxiways. Hairy stuff but then thats what they're paid for. An other option could be the question as to whether or not the C17 are fitted with Chaff and Flare dunno, just asking. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
