So much for currency and no bull.

C-141 had huge hydrologic issues. During the mid 1980's I brought in several C-141's for exercises in Mississippi. They all came in, all failed to launch . I had to bring in C-130's to get the job done. I hope the C-17's are more reliable.

It cost me two cases of beer/C-141; absolute loss. Short notice response for the C-130's cost me four cases of beer/aircraft. Time and budget dictated the C-130!



My $.02.
