Yep <rocker>
here is one that came into Whidbey Island while I was there--love these aircraft!
97-0043 Spirit Of Los Angeles
Heavy 17 coming out of a tac east.
and another settling down for a right base.
REACH 5139 headed out
Anyone see KCAL Channel 9 last night. They show the C-17 from Travis with LA Co Fire Taskforce 2 aboard take off a little after 10pm. It was really a cool shot. (pass it along to Scott for me Ken) They followed it up to where they headed west. They they say that the tower asked them to leave their airspace since the C-17 was gone. Or the C-10 as anchor Pat Harvey called it. ;)

Heading north bound? If yes, I saw it yesterday. I knew it wasn't a 747 or a 340, so what came to my mind was a C-5 lol. I wish I had my camera! >:( <laughing>
Great catch, Ken! <thumbsup>
He was going south, I flipped the photo because it looked strange.
Oh I see... I know I saw a military plane for sure... lol. :o ???

A C-17 over West Hollywood May 3 Any one know who it was?
September 15th, the 20th Anniversary of the first flight of C-17 T-1 (70025).
Later this year, the airframe will be decommissioned.
WHAT!!! Retiring a C-17 already!!!!!! WTF!!!!!
A 20 year old airframe, with thousands of test hours on it. Surprised it lasted that long really.
More info on the airframe:

Nice shots! The first time I saw one of these babies flying I was out in the Mojave at a crash site and saw one of these go over head on approach to Edwards. That close and that slow it baffles the mind why it doesn't just drop out of the sky lol
I agree! these things are amazing.

WOW, Great pics....
Nice stuff Doug....Where are you flying over there?
This my very first post on APSOCAL forum. Pics of McChord C-17 landing Rwy 8 Albuquerque, NM.
This is my first post to AP So Cal. This was at Aviation Nation 2010.
These were taken on some of the Demo flights I used to fly when the West Coast Demo Team was active. Oh the good ole days! The first pic was our practice run at March ARB then the other two are from one of our demos at Chino (KCNO).
Another Aviation Nation 2010 picture.
A kind of unique shot I figured people may enjoy. This is from one of our demo's up in Chico.
Mike,
Good to see you on APSoCal!! I've actually had the pleasure of flying with you guys twice, 2010 & 2012 at the March Media day flight (you got me in the jump seat on landing for both!), and once at Miramar. I've got a picture somewhere of you and my kids.
You still flying in the AirForce?
Nice shot, cool composition with the shadow.
Great shots Mike!!! Thanks for sharing! :)
@Real Big Taco= sorry for late response, just saw the message. We flew up to San Francisco along the coastline and then back to March over the Central Valley.
