Not sure I'm getting the connection. Doesn't the Strategic Airlift Capability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Airlift_Capability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Airlift_Capability have 3 planes?
Is the cost for that 4.5 x higher than Delta Air Lines annual revenue? ($37.7 billion 2013)
I'm sure most of the cost of USAF is on other things...
- omegaham 11y agoThe US operates 5,638 military aircraft, including 222 C-17A Globemasters, 261 C-130H Hercules planes, and 104 C-130Js. The Strategic Airlift Capability has 3 C-17s. The SAC is, frankly, a symbolic gesture to say, "Yes, we're going to include everyone." The bulk of the heavy lifting is done by standard USAF planes.
