Boeing
[NYSE: BA] delivered the Qatar Emiri Air Force's fourth C-17 Globemaster

the U.S. government to acquire two additional C-17s, which brings the
Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) fleet of the world's most advanced airlifters
to a total of four as the C-17 continues to attract orders worldwide.
Qatar received its third airlifter earlier this year. |

The C-17's reliability, along
with its unique strategic and tactical capabilities, has expanded our
reach and ability to support missions worldwide on a moment's notice,"
said Brig. Gen. Ahmed Al-Malki, head of Qatar's airlift committee. "Doubling
our fleet strengthens our ability to support humanitarian, disaster-relief
and peacekeeping missions." |
