Or:
(RJ100 thinks: That's what I want to be when I grow up)
Or
(C-17 thinks: Man, I wish I were young again, instead of being led around....)

if the globemaster could open his mouth like the C-5 can, it would swallow the Avro 8)

Too bad the Avroliner does not have thrust reversers, that's why the have the ability to split their tale in 2 pieces and let them act as airbrakes :)
He'd need the tug, which is waay over there at the C-17 ;D

last weekend i talked with a Avro pilot and he also told me that. the Avro has really strong carbon brakes...like F1 cars.

Side note - the planned (never built) RJ100M would have had reversers, especially since the redesigned rear fuselage would have incorporated a ramp, etc.

Avroliner thinks ...... "Ha!!! so he thinks he can hide in ambush behind that does he!!"
or
Globemaster pushing tug forward... "Kill!!.... You know you can take him!!!"
cheers
