IIRC the RAF's C17s and Apaches all started off very similar! C17s didn't allow for maintenance and the Apaches didn't come with any avionics.

Our new (future) Voyager aircraft will probably have strict luggage restrictions for passengers, and will only be allowed to pass 10,000lbs of fuel to other aircraft per day, up to a maximum of 100,000 per calendar month or the penalty clause kicks in. I hate to think what the non-refundable deposit is for leasing this!
