I took this picture last year at the Nova Scotia Air Show. It was on static display but I did not have a chance to board it. I recall that it left quite early on that day. Anyhow, it will wear a Canadian flag in the future because the Canadian government just spent $3.4B on four of these monsters. Hopefully Boeing will deliver the planes very soon, otherwise strategic airlift will not be in great need after the end of the Afghanistan mission. You know, we don't need these aircraft for domestic airlift, what's good are they at home? The Canadian Forces can barely sustain a combat mission, we do humanitarian relief missions once every few years. So I have a feeling that we will sell the planes a few years later, just like the Canadian Chinook.
