“Like one, that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows, a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread.” ..................................

Having removed the Pongos or squeezed the sh*t out of it in Airforce terms, the C17 was a much more managable aircraft.
