HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III registered as 55140 and operated by the United States Air Force out of March Air Reserve Base in California stands as a symbol of military excellence and strategic airlift capability. This strategic and tactical transport aircraft plays a vital role in the U.S. Air Forces mission supporting humanitarian operations troop deployments and cargo transportation around the world. The C-17 Globemaster III has been a cornerstone of the Air Forces airlift fleet and exemplifies its commitment to global mobility and rapid response.The original lineage of the Boeing C-17 dates to the early 1970s when the United States Air Force needed a single aircraft that would combine the load capacity of the C-141 Starlifter and the C-5 Galaxy aircraft yet have the versatility of the C-130 Hercules. Because of lessons learned in the Vietnam War the USAF turned to Boeing and McDonnell-Douglas to come up with a design to fit their requirements. Although both manufacturers came up with and built completely flyable prototypes neither was chosen. With the war having ended both companies went back to the drawing boards to come up with a more modern design and McDonnell-Douglas came out the winner. In August 1981 the C-17 was given the official "go ahead" from the USAF. Ha
