Not very good story its not a giant airplane like it says and not a huge tank can be added either due to its size and power but sounded good anyway. Also 10M for it used? Kind of spendy it seems along with the fact they have grounded US bombers for no good reason in the last few years.
10m to the Canadian taxpayer. It's then leased to the US. Also has another 20 years life expectancy and may carry less than a C-130 but more than private aircraft usually hired in the US on account of the fact that they have to be hired before the military get involved. If you're serious about investigating how these initiatives are set up then do some research instead of making spurious statements with no knowledge of the facts. That is why I squawked this article.
