However the presentday C-17 is unmatched as a cargo plane, because it can be retrofited for humanitarian missions(the latest medical equipment operational in flight), cargo movement, military/sollmissions, and most important, it is maintained by a bus periph. system, with the latest advancements. I worked on C-5, C-17, C-141b, anything with wings as a avionics mechanic(2A452). Anyway, Im glad that India/Sri lanka and America are at a common ground to seriously consider this potential arrangement.
Im interested in how the Indian IT community will further advance the Bus system. This is the one plane, that could do everything, please keep that in mind. Boeing will always be the "Bugatti",in these matters, so why not the best?
