About this type
The Globemaster III is the West's strategic airlift workhorse: it hauls tanks across oceans, then lands them on short rough strips using huge flaps blown by engine exhaust.
Military ADS-B behavior varies, which makes every C-17 catch feel a little like intercepting a secret.
First flight: September 15, 1991.
Can back up under its own power using thrust reversers.
279 built for the US and eight partner nations.
