Sunfish, are you sure it was a C-17? No web seats in a C-17. Either plastic or palletised. Now a C130J certainly has webbed seats.

Tailwheel, it certainly was some time ago. Either late 1984 or early 1985. Sorry memory fails me. Aravas had -36's as an option over the -34 of the Bandit. Better hot and high performance. Luckily...
