Air Show: My Other Favourite


Ok
I'm a Jet Girl at heart... but I really think this rocks.....

C-17 Globemaster III

Wikipedia says; The C-17 Globemaster III is used for rapid strategic airlift of troops and cargo to main operating bases or forward bases anywhere in the world. It has the ability to rapidly deploy a combat unit to a potential battle area and sustain it with on-going supplies. The C-17 is also capable of performing tactical airlift, medical evacuation and airdrop missions.

It kinds of looks like a a big rumbling beast but it's so much more than that and the sound it makes is way cool.

The coolest thing is just how slow it can go... like seriously slow you could run alongside it. And because of that it can land on an extremely short piece of runway.
