Re: C17LoadSmasher

We use the older 25K loaders, and now there is a new one, called the Halvorsen Loader , that can switch from the Logistics (108" end fwd) or the ADS (88" end fwd) systems in about 20 minutes. First time I saw one come to the back of the jet was about 6 mos ago. We also have the regular 40K loader, and the old (ick) 60K's and lately the new 60K Tunner. I am not sure of the engine placement. I know the old 40Ks were dual exhaust, and the new ones are L O U D.
