Boeing C-17 Globemaster III History:
A high-wing, 4-engine, T-tailed military-transport aircraft, the multi-service C-17 Globemaster III can carry large equipment, supplies and troops directly to small airfields in harsh terrain anywhere in the world day or night. The massive, sturdy, long-haul aircraft tackles distance, destination and heavy, oversized payloads in unpredictable conditions.
The C-17 Globemaster III is operated by a crew of three (pilot, copilot and loadmaster), reducing manpower requirements, risk exposure and long-term operating costs. Cargo is loaded onto the C-17 through a large aft door that accommodates military vehicles and palletized cargo. The C-17 can carry virtually all of the Army's air-transportable equipment.
The strategic air lifter manufactured by Boeing, C-17 Globemaster III, is operated by the United States Air Force, British Royal Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force and the Canadian Forces Air Command, also NATO has plans to operate the air lifter. The C-17 first flew on September 15, 1991, and the first production model was delivered to Charleston Air Force Base, S.C., June 14, 1993.
