You Can Have Fun Flying a C-17

Gay butt sex is not "getting laid."

When did the Navy get them?

Its too bad it dosen't have better range.

I just have to add my $.02 to this discussion...

240,000 lbs of JP8 can let me fly for 11+ hours.

Just don't compare us to the C-5 because it doesn't matter how big it is if you can't get it up.....in the air.

I can remember back in the mid to late 90's when all those 141 flight engineers were bad mouthing the C-17. It doesn't have the range, the apu is in the wrong place, etc, etc, etc.

Oh ya, remember when they were going to add an engineers station? It was already wired for it! I think those guys were just bitter!!!

I shared a crew bus at Travis with a couple C-5 engineers a couple years back. They said the same thing "We heard they're gonna put an engineer on that thing." We tried to keep a straight face, didn't tell them our flight engineer was a black box. MSgt Pentium III or something. Let 'em dream we figured.

Layovers leave a little to be desired, seeing the sun rise and set twice in one day sucks, but it truly is a pretty sweet airplane.
