A new aircraft type bootscooter?
I have to say that we acted very sensibly, given that the aircraft were leased, to train and operate in an almost identical fashion to the USAF. However, should we not have expected a reasonably easy entry into service with a tried and tested airframe, mature SOPs and a proven training system?
However I noticed that the ‘Entry into service of the C-17’ received a special mention in a list of HQ 2 Gp's annual objectives (No 7 I think). I’m glad to see that this sort of high profile, pro-active approach has worked so well.
