Re: China Y-20 heavy transport aircraft thread

Actually, that is a C-17. The winglets, engine pylons and main landing gears gave it away. This picture is a Y-20 model:

Re: China's Transport Aircraft

more on the deal of the Y-8C exports to Venezuela

飞扬军事综合报道:
2011年3月委内瑞拉与中国对外贸易协会、中国国家航空技术进出口有限公司签署了一项价值3亿美元的合同, (CATIC)用于购买8架飞机Y-8C(中国派生的苏制安-12)。合同内容涉及飞机技术状态调整、综合保障能力建设、用户培训要求及飞机转场等。

The 8 Y-8Cs were exported for 300 million USD. It turned out to be more than I expected.

And Venezuela has now received the first Y-8C.

Is there any photo from out Venezuela friends regarding Y-8C? I believe Y-8C has lots of automation that makes the price tag per piece expensive.
