    Just looking out the window here in Blanchardstown corporate park and saw a massive grey plane. Looked military. Anyone tell me what it was? I know I'm vague and not very good at describing it. Suppose it had a fatter head/neck than the tail.

    C17 is the main ride for the presidents convoy ( cars/limos etc ) now since the C141 has been retired and the C5 Galaxy is busy in places thats dusty and far away...:) Also the C17 can carry more than the C141 so its just all round better, suprising they didnt use EIME as Bal is a secure Military base.

    Wonder how many "terrorists" were brought to their knew "home" in Cuba for "questionning" in that gulfstream. I wonder did they enjoy the inflight service.
