Six BA 757s available very soon. Lease them for troping and keep AAR Tristars for AAR only. Non AAR Tristars for spares, retire VC-10.
Buy more C130J and don't fart about trying to resurrect the older C130s.
When A400M comes along, adapt some C130Js as tankers, retire Tristar.
In the meantime, ask allies to help with AAR when we have shortfall. Likewise for heavy lift.
If they don't want to help, that defines our limitations and we should not deploy toops in hot places beyond that point of capability.
Oh yes, cancel that stupid PFI AAR/AT nonsense.
Summarise: Cut suit according to cloth. The purse is empty.
