That is incorrect! That was the last aircraft for McChord. There are more this year for Charleston. |

Considering the birdcage liner is an internal newsletter and not "media"...

No, it clearly says 'EVERETT DAILY HERALD NEWSPAPER' above the fold on page A1 Thus why the smilies. I figured it was one of the Seattle area papers that you were referencing and being in a "birdcage" it would be an "internal newsletter". Anyway, found what I believe to be the article you were referring to and it does indeed say that it is the last Globemaster III for McChord, not overall - http://www.heraldnet.com/article/201303 ... 1/0/SEARCH |
