Barnstormer writes: I think this is wonderful news. For far too long we have been saying that the British government should fund more C17's, and now at last, they are going to!
Not only are they buying C-17s, India are also buying a significant number of C130J (up to 17 I think) as well. They will soon have a better AT fleet than we have.
And yes I see where you're coming from as well!
