This is the new C-17 RCAF bought

The CC-177 Globemaster III. This very plane flew over RMC on its return trip from Afghanistan.

Oh, and the RCAF doesn't exist anymore. It's just the Air Force now.

I was on one last year and there are a load of photo's of it on this site both inside and out. The thing that surprised me it has a crew of three, two pilots and a loadmaster.

Amazing what modern technology can do, eh? A cargo plane this size during WWII would have required a crew of somewhere around 12.
