C-17 on final approach
For all of you Military History guys - picture of a C-17 ON FINAL APPROACH
Just thought you airplane buffs would like a shot of this impressive
military transport jet on final approach over the ocean.
The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III was developed for the United States Air
Force in the 1980s by McDonnell Douglas and commonly performs strategic
airlift missions transporting troops and cargo throughout the world.
Additional roles include tactical airlift, medical evacuation and airdrop
duties. It has a crew of three (two pilots and one loadmaster). With a
payload of 170,900 lbs., it can carry 102 paratroopers or 36 litter and 54
ambulatory patients or one M1 Abrams tank or three Strykers or six M1117
armored security vehicles. The length is 174 ft, with a wingspan of 169.8
ft. Empty weight is 282,500 lbs. and it is powered by four Pratt & Whitney
F117-PW-100 turbofans with a cruising speed of 450 knots and a range of
2,420 nmi at a maximum service ceiling of 45,000 ft.
