UAE to purchase four C-17's???

The D.O.D. last week notified Congress about a planned purchase of 4 C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft by the United Arab Emirates.  The contract will be worth around $500 million.  The U.A.E. plans to use these C-17's for its own domestic needs as well as to provide support for NATO operations in Afghanistan.  This is great news for the C-17 production line if these international purchases can help to pad their order book.
