> So why should this be the case. The answer is simple…It’s not a fighter…It’s very big…It doesn’t make much noise… It doesn’t do aerobatics and it doesn’t travel at twice the speed of sound. No, it’s a transport aircraft.

> However, in this unique photograph I feel its full glory is captured perfectly. The landing gear is fully extended as are all of the flaps, spoilers and other aerodynamic devices needed to bring this expensive and heavy piece of military hardware in for a perfect landing.
>>>>
> Also note how the crew has the aircraft perfectly configured in a slightly nose up attitude so as to ensure this elegant transport lands perfectly balanced at its destination without causing excessive loads on either itself or the runway.
>>>>
> Study the high resolution photograph carefully because maybe you will spot something that’s not apparent to others especially from this unique angle.

> This aircraft will never have quite the appeal the of the F-15, F-16 or F-18, but this photograph will bring the C-17 pretty close.
