While the C-16 Pelican has performed its duties admirably fo the past 2 years, it is undergoing a major redesign and refit after a review by Field Marshall Seville. A more aerodynamic massive fuselage body has been concocted and will be refit to the old pelican frame. This will "make it look cooler" according to Seville.
