Lybid - You are so far off the mark it is simply funny!!!!! You don't have the faintest idea about the facts of the matter.
Opso has quite rightly put the facts straight as far as is possible on this public forum. The C-17 is still within hours, is doing a first class job and may become the platform of choice for more than just a few more countries around the world.
An124 - Well, where do I start? Field performance, tearing up tyres like nobodys business. And at vast expense to the taxpayer every time it flys, which is far, far less than C-17.
Lybid - please stop posting until you know what you're talking about.
Roll on C-17!!!
