C-17 Doc The C-17 combines the best attributes of today's airlift fleet with proven state-of the-art technology to support our air mobility needs in a changing world. Capable of delivering outsize cargo over long distances into small austere airfields, the C-17 Globemaster lll will be the cornerstone of America's global reach well into the 21st century. The C-17 will fly cargo and troops over intercontinental distances for airland or airdrop delivery. It will also provide needed humanitarian relief and aeromedical airlift, augment special operations, and move United Nations' piecekeeping forces to troubled spots throughout the globe. The First C-17 Squadron Began Initial Operations At Charleston Air Force Base, South Carolina, in June 1993. Wish I could have came up with a more diserving model but due to lack of ability and knowledge of the air craft factory, this was the best i could come up with. Hope you enjoy flying it as much as i enjoyed making it. I think you will find the flight parameter file more than adequate for a transport qualified to operate within 3000 ft.runways, with well behaved flight characteristics.
