C-17 update;
15 more are planned for the 09 budget.
The decommissioned tool for the center fuselage section was dusted off and painted for congressmen Dana Ro...bacher this week. Rumor has it there going to use it to develop the center landing gear for the B model along with seven other upgrades, mostly software. However the mods are going to be added during the current orders which go to ship 239. Started 203 last week. That center gear is going to be a mofo, I can't see where there's room.
Four star General Stiles I believe, said "the A model is good enough". Well that maybe but I've been around long enough to know these are contiually developed until a program ends or the cost is to high.
Good luck Rob and keep'em flyin.
