The aircraft is due to arrive at Brize Norton during April 2008. See more info courtesy of the MOD.
I see in this weeks Flight magazine that the UK may be interested in taking two more C-17s! Thats great news if we do
ZZ175 is scheduled to land at Brize Norton at 10:00 on Monday, 7 April. I'll be there to get some pix and do some interviews for Flight.
Moose
Brilliant Sprucemoose. Can't wait to see those.
Is anybody else going to see the arrival?
I think a few more hacks will be in attendance. Let's just hope the weather isn't rubbish!
Yep, take a brolly just in case.
Speaking of C-17's, the Canadian's had their 3rd example delivered yesterday. The last one is due late spring.
Update on the Canadian C-17's. The last one on order, 177704 was delivered yesterday. Sooner than expected.
ZZ175 arrived bang on time: see my story and pictures (including a flypast from VC10 and TriStar) at the link below.

I'm off to warm up - it was a chilly one at Brize this morning!
Well done Moose, a good sight to see.
Look forward to seeing ZZ175 round and about.
