说道远程投送，不禁联想到温家宝新签的4架Boeing777-300ER

看看Boeing777-300ER的亮点：
The 777-300ER ("ER" for Extended Range) is the B-market version of the -300. It features raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.[136][137] The -300ER also has a strengthened fuselage, wings, empennage, and engine attachments.

这些不都很适合简易机场起降而设计的吗？KC-777的版本存在本身证明了这是一个有军事运输潜力的机种quote:"The 777 tanker would also be able to transport more cargo or personnel."

浮想联翩啊。
