-- Abbotsford, BC -- The first of four Boeing C-17s that will eventually be delivered to the Canadian military soared past a mountain backdrop to land at the Abbotsford, B.C. airport as the star attraction of the annual air show.It even works out for the demented lefties who want to take away our soldiers' guns and replace them with rakes and shovels.
Among the soldiers who will most feel the effects of having the new planes are members of Canada's Disaster Assistance Response Team. Loads that took 24 flights in a Hercules to deploy to the tsunami disaster zone in southeast Asia in 2004 will now take just one trip.**********
