C17 copy, well almost. Not quite the same lift capacity. Engines make it look like a starlifter, but aparantely there are newer engines for production machines. Maybe higher bybass ones.
We could swap a years supply of milk powder for 5 of them.

Antanov wing and Russian engines to be replaced by Chinese engines. No thanks, think I'd prefer the A400M.

Except the Chinese now own the milk supply... Well that's okay - they love tainted milk over there, so they can have as much of it as they want. Fonterra: you know you're standing in it. |
