The Americans have got loads of C17, so they must use it exactly like a C130...
Well, Equivocator, that's not toooo far from the truth, actually!
If we had enough C17s so that they weren't all working max chat on the airbridge then they might be allowed to train up for some of the other roles for which the jet is so well designed!
The 'customers' want it, the crews want it, it just needs a little greater asset:task ratio!
In a kind of Field of Dreams way - if you task them, they will perform!
