Fat chance, EADS. The C-17 Globemaster III line is still open and it's far more likely that we could see additional follow-on orders for the C-17 to replace the oldest C-5's instead of buying the A400M.

The C17 can carry a tank.

A400 can’t.

Done.

C-5s are being upgraded with new engines and cockpits.

I swear I saw somewhere that zero's budget kills the C-17. Am I wrong?
