I'll see 2 or three of those flying out of NFAFB on occasion, over my house.
They're big.

A couple years ago, I saw the Blue Angels flying in purrfect formation, making a sharp turn over my house, heard the noise, neighbor said to look UP, and just then caught them through an opening in the trees.....no cam, of course.....
much less time to react.....

Oh yea, the most user friendly cargo aircraft Uncle owns. Plenty of room for activities, 18 pallets side by side or 11 run down the middle, and if you can keep the loadmasters out of your hair, lots of fun to be had. The loadmasters are in charge of the cargo area on the C-17. Case in point, we once moved the 18 pallets from being ready to fly to on the K-Loaders, or aircraft pallet movers, in the very short time of 7min 23 sec. Yea, that doesn't happen in normal, regulation happy, bases.

My niece's husband is a KC-135 tanker pilot. His groomsman is a C-17 pilot.
 LOTS of fun stories.
