More bad news for the A400M: South Africa just cancelled its order of eight of them. That's also bad news for African peacekeeping missions, though, of which there aren't any shortage these days. In the meantime, South Africa upgraded its fleet of 1963-vintage C130Bs. (Nothing a little duct tape can't fix, I imagine.) What if one day someone threw a war and nobody could get to it?
