| Re: C-5 Replacement or modernization Big surprise there...it's all good except the Army hates the idea of C-17s taking the C-5s role. Since they decided NOT to retire the A models, the school house is getting killed. When you plan on having to crew 50 odd planes and then have to crew 100 plus planes, it adds a *slight* kink in your plan. Not getting on my soap box...could be there for hours.

 | Re: C-5 Replacement or modernization The C-5 can carry some hub to hub weight that the C-17 couldn't dream of! Those A-Models need to go, though. They're maintenance hogs of an airplane that is a maintenance hog.
