In the red corner, weighing 100.000lbs the British Aerospace RJ100 Avroliner!
In the blue corner, the title defender with an impressive weight of 550.000lbs, the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III

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  Smiley

He'd need the tug, which is waay over there at the C-17  Grin

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