Heathrow Harry #194,

Sorry, a bit late to the ball on this;

" A recapitalised air transport fleet to enable our Armed Forces to intervene globally at speed. By 2016, we will have 14 Voyager air-to-air refuelling aircraft. Our 22 new A400M Atlas heavy-lift aircraft will enhance our global reach, alongside our eight C17 aircraft. We will upgrade and extend the life of our C130J aircraft, allowing them to support a range of operations until 2030."

Interesting on the C130J, which I believed were all to be retired, to allow room for the mighty Atlas, and increased Voyager fleet. Is BZN capable of supporting all of these aircraft ? Having seen Lyneham from the air recently, I suspect there's no going back in that direction. Anyone any thoughts ?
