One of the most prestigious aircraft in the USAF fleet, the C-17 Globemaster III is able to transport aircraft parts, troops, and vehicles across thousands of miles. Developed by Boeing and McDonell Douglas, the C-17’s massive wingspan and four powerful engines allow it to stop in incredible distances or takeoff on the shortest runways possible in combat scenarios. The massive success of the type has led to nearly double the aircraft being produced than expected, with a quarter being directed to the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve.

History and Specifications:
The Globemaster can carry up to 102 troops or 170,900 lbs of cargo across a typical range of 6,200 miles without refueling, but can also be attached to an aircraft such as a KC-135 in order to increase range. The massive aircraft has a wingspan and length of just around 170ft and is powered by four F-117-100 engines, creating a combined 160,000 lbs of thrust on takeoff. The altitude ceiling of the jet is 45,000ft, with a top speed of 517mph and fully loaded takeoff weight of 585,000 lbs. Painted in traditional low-visibility grey, this C-17 Globemaster III fulfills duties for the 436th and 512th Airlift Wing in Dover, Delaware. Assisting in the repair and maintenance of aircraft, ground vehicles and facilities, this C-17 provides important logistical power, allowing parts to quickly be transported across the country or combat.
