RAAF TO BUY MORE c17'S
announced to day that australia will buy two more KC30 tankers one of which will set up to carry VIP's and one or two more C17's.
I suspect that the RAAF will buy the two C17's

As the line was due to close next year and they had 13 or possibly 10 unsold, then the delivery time may be short on those C-17's

The additional KC-30's likewise. VIP needs plus extra tanking requirements drive this...

So, Boeing's having an 'End of Model Runout Sale'.
Are they offering Free Air and Genuine Lambswool Seat Covers?
And, if we order before the end of the month, will they throw in a set of Custom Embroidered Floor Mats?

Very funny - but the actual 'Bou replacements are the 10 C-27Js the RAAF is buying.
