Well I'll be! They even edit (even if they call it "updated" viz "Updated September 29, 2016 at 10:04 am") their Articles these days and correct real howlers!
"RAFF" to "RAAF"
and
"707-based KC-135 tanker" to "707-based Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AWACS) plane"
(Wonder if someone told them or do they read AMI? Probably not as I thought my 707 example was better than the AWACS example!)

That P-8A looks all kind of kick ass - a very important acquisition for our country.

Yep, and I reckon whoever wrote those particular contracts has lost their job..
Pretending to do it TAC style with the big boys since 1987
