  1. Quite a few years back I visited Boeing Long Beach (California – now closed) and toured one of two C17A Globemasters preparing to fly to Australia. Could very well have been one of these (I’m looking thru my photos, will share if found “soon”).

  2. Wow! Wouldn’t have those Ex-Royal Australian Navy, Grumman S-2E/G Trackers come in handy now.
