This C-17A was delivered to the USAF on 9 December 2009. It had quite a journey to Gilze Rijen. On 25 August it had picked up two factory fresh Dutch AH-64Es (serials Q-47 and Q-49) with Boeing at Phoenix-Mesa (AZ). Just after take-off it went broke, so it flew to homebase McChord (WA). After repairs, it crossed the USA and the pond and arrived at Prestwick (UK) on the 26th. At that location it went tech again. Stayed there up to the 28th and eventually arrived at Gilze Rijen with the fresh delivery. It is seen here departing Gilze Rijen as REACH280. It went for Souda air base (Crete, Greece)

Rare visitor to Melbourne Airport.

The C-17 from RAAF 36sqn with its special tail came to Eindhoven on a sunday. For many it was some time ago since they had seen a RAAF C-17 at Eindhoven. They were frequent visitors during the events following the shootdown of MH17.

A very large aircraft for Norwich - in fact it never landed but carried out multiple ILS approaches
