British defense is planning to dump the tried and tested C130 Herc
and replace it with the A400 Airbus. You can bet the Airbus will
be plagued with troubles before they get ironed out, so, as missions
like the SAS go on are usually kinda delicate, why not wait until the
Airbus is 100% ? But bureaucrats being bureaucrats you know that
ain't gonna happen.
