GIII AC vs DC
I prefer the AC G-IIIs. We had both at Andrews AFB. We flew them to every continent except Antarctica. Dispatch reliability was similar. The AC G-III is a more modern airplane and they are newer. With over 500 G-IVs flying around out there with the same electrical system, spares won't be a... -
