Photos directly
below were taken at the Abbotsford airshow. My
C17A photo collection. I was talking to the Loadmaster for this aircraft.
It was really new, not even broken it yet - 30 hours on the log!! On the Monday
after the airshow the crew / aircraft put on a little demonstration prior to
their departure. They moved the aircraft down the
flightline, stopped, backed it up (while other aircraft can back up this one is
actually designed to do it!) and jacked it up and down to display the different
heights that the gear will move to. Once they were in the air they made a
slow and high speed pass.
