Given the massive increase in strategic air transport capability which C-17 and Voyager will shortly be providing and its limited capability (technical, not professional) in the AAR role, does this announcement not sound the death knell for the TriStar? Particularly given that VC10 / VC10K availability is remarkably good at present, given the age of the aircraft.
