Looks like the C-141 is going away. I assume that the C-17 and
some form of Boeing cargo jet (7E7 or 767) will take its place.

Oh, 'passing.' I had these odd visuals. :-)

Anyway, it is relatively old news. Most of the planes had their wings
chopped off long ago.

The 141's left McChord AFB some time ago. Now they are all C-17's.

"pasting"

And here I thought they used rivets.

Copy/Paste; Copy/Paste...how did you think they got all of those
Starlifters?

The OP was AF -- are the Marines still using them? I think they had 'em
out at El Toro, before they closed it maybe four years ago. Or is the
AF the *last* branch to retire them?

Never heard of an airplane being pasted by the Air Force.
