I hate the fact Memphis is getting them. I can understand Martinsburg has to get something now that the remaining C-5As are going bye bye. But after the way...
According to this article in Flight http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/uk-to-buy-eighth-c-17-transport-367960/ It is already on the line and due for...
Wright-Patt received it's 9th and final C-17 last Friday (2-10-12) from Charleston AFB. The full KFFO fleet is as follows; 90-0535 93-0603 93-0604 94-0068 ...
Michael, according to my research the last USAF C-17A (P-222) is supposed to be 10-0222 which I expect was delivered last year or will be this year. Have you...
The answer is that 10-0216 was 'delivered' last week, so still some time before 10-0222 gets first flown let alone delivered so a bit more research is required...
Cool. Thanks Eccie. I hadn't heard that another had been funded to replace 00-0173. Can anyone confirm? Would seem odd since the Administration would not...
Bill, It is confirmed. Funding has been issued for the next three with four more to come although not funded yet. That should take the USAF to 223 production...
Can you tell me where your information comes from to say it was delivered last week? It only had it's first test flight on Wednesday and was parked on the...
Hey team. Here's the best list of the final years of C-17 production I have been able to assemble. Anyone have any comments, corrections, additions? Year Del....
Need to correct some of your serials; RAAF A41-206 through A41-209 are USAF serials 06-0206 through 06-0209. A41-210 is USAF 11-0210. The 6th jet is likely...
Thanks for the info, Silas! Bill ... From: BoeingC17A@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BoeingC17A@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Silas Stephan Sent: Tuesday, February...
What's the story with 3121 that it will not be operational? ... From: BoeingC17A@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BoeingC17A@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Silas Stephan...
11-0208 would make more sense for ZZ178 as all others are FY plus 0201-0207? Regards Mark ... Sent by MH via BlackBerry ... From: "Coronet" <rolima@...> ...
Ah. But, P-121 will most likely be sent to a squadron after the test operation closes (eventually). T-1 is permanently non-standard, despite some efforts to...
T-1s test operation will end, not the C-17 test program. They will just go back to one aircraft instead of having two. Technically, 3121 has been assigned to...
I'm sure it went something like 'RAF' to 'USAF' can we take your next delivery slot please? 'USAF' reply sure, because we didn't order it anyway! Regards Mark ...
At some point the test program will end, probably within a few years of production termination. Witness the F-15. Eventually a depot will take on this work....
It happened before with the 5th RAAF jet. Â The serial is created the year the aircraft is bought...and most of the time the year it is the year its funded....
My understanding is that the aircraft is kept to production standards to be representative for the tests. That's why it is used and T-1 has been of diminining...
Michael, time grows short and I have to submit the C-17 In Action material to Squadron/Signal by the end of the week. Will you be able to provide the two high...
Any sign of 10-0217 or 10-0405 for the UAE? Since 0216 was delivered last week, I would think the next jet is out on the ramp. I'm figuring 0217 is McChord...
Silas, I was there at the weekend and the next C-17 was visible in paint but had no markings. It looked to me like it's for the UAE but I did not get a 100%...
