Default USAF KC-30 Well, not actually...

Took a photo of this billboard the other day which is located
across the road from the National Museum Of The USAF. I was
going to ask if anyone in the group had heard of this aircraft
but decided to look it up myself. Below is what I found.

Interesting how politically correct the Northrup billboard is.

No warplanes (e.g., combat fighters, bombers) pictured, but instead a
C-17 (used for humanitarial missions) --- the type of AF that Pelosi
wants to build...kinder and gentler...no need to hurt people, when you
can just reach out a helpful hand.

But they will be Peace-Keeping Troops and armed only with Non-lethal
weaponry.

"Troops!! Ammunition!" ... Oh! The Horror of it all ! .... I mean look
what happened to The Lusitania after the Kaiser found out about that
terrible secret cargo of Infernal devices!


Cheers,

Dave
