The C-17 Globemaster III is a long-range, heavy-lift military transport aircraft operated by the United States Air Force. It is designed to rapidly transport troops, equipment, and cargo to forward operating bases and austere airfields worldwide.

Known affectionately by military aviation crews as the “Mighty Moose,” this aircraft combines incredible size with surprising agility, capable of rapid turns, tactical descents, low-level passes and precision maneuvers that showcase its true capabilities.
