Hrkdrvr,
That's where I got my remark from! I was a 141 guy for 18 years before we got our 17's and that was the running joke about C-17's when they first showed up. They didn't fly much because they were working out all the kinks, so the joke was;
What does a C-17 and Buddah have in Common?
Their both big and fat, sit around all day and do nothing, and people worship them!
