"On behalf of the entire Boeing C-17 team, I
want to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting our efforts
in securing the lease of four aircraft to the Royal Air Force(RAF).
This is a significant victory, made possible in large part because
of your work on our behalf, and we believe it paves the way for
additional such programs in other countries. It is the benchmark
and our collective performance will be watched closely around the
world."
