I've heard rumours that CDF wants more J model Hercs in preference to the C-17s .... he's holding out .... so Ronnie's going slow on more
Js hoping that CDF retires before the C-17 line is shut and the opportunity is lost.
Is the RAAF sufficiently resourced to pay for the fuel burnt by the C-17s?
I dunno - I'm just asking. As I said - rumours & speculation.
