Look up a C5 Galaxy. Those are some of the largest military cargo planes in the world. You can stuff all the cargo from three C17's in a C5 and sprinkle a couple C130's and a couple school buses to take up the empty space. I think it can handle something obnoxious like 60 more tons over a C17.

Yes, I don't think it's really correct. I have heard a KC-135 pilot talking about flying with winglets, and he said takeoffs and landings were easier. He said it's because the wings produce slightly more lift with the winglets since you don't have wingtip vortices. That allows for slightly lower stall speed (change of less than 5 knots), but also noticeably improves low speed handling (maybe because of cleaner airflow over ailerons but I'm not sure)

Never liked flying on the C17. Always preferred the C5 Galaxy. Now that was a HUMONGOUS and comfy riding plane with good pilots. Hated the side wall jump seats on those. That's where the 17 beat the 5. Much better seats in the cargo hold. However, both were leaps and bounds better than the C-130. Always found myself in and jumping from those mostly. Bleh. So a 17 or the 5 were like tour buses versus the 130 which is like riding the over packed buses in rural India.

2:46 Ryanair wet dream...

Funny when I got out in 1990 these were just coming into service and now they don't make them anymore, I'm getting old......

Even we Indians have bought this from USA 😁❤️

The Globemaster is part of our fleet since 2013 in the Indian Air Force. It's squadron Is named as "Sky Lords" and its moto is "Capable, Powerful, Omnipresent"

hahaha. Cutting edge electronics. lol. It's a good aircraft though, but it is been out of production for a few years now and it shows, but they will be around for a very long time. So far it seems there currently is no plan in the US to develop a replacement. The C-130 is now the only military transport in production in the US and that can only carry 20 tons.

Powerful

As a C-17 loadmaster, I found the narration difficult to listen to. Cringe. I get that the scrip is written for the general populous but that does not mean that it has to be incorrect.

C-141 lasted about 40yrs. and certainly didn’t cost $340m. C-17 has a long way to go to live up to what the C-141 accomplished.

The C-17 Globemaster III became the center of failed evacuation efforts in Kabul where it airdropped stowaway Afghans.
