"• U.S. forces already suffer from significant airlift shortfalls, deficiencies underscored during the recent Iraqi war."

This is stated as fact, without a source. Fact is that we moved a mountain of materiel and I never heard one peep about us not having enough lift capacity. Any takers?

A gang of brutal realities may be the strongest ally Robins Air Force Base has in preserving its C-5A workload - at least for the next several years.

More "what's good for my district" military analysis.

During Desert Storm / Provide Comfort I remember seeing the C-5As and 12 years ago they looked old and worn out .... I would hate to see them now or in the year 2040 ....
