Awesome!!! I live near March, ARB and these fly over my house all the time. They are great to see in flight. This is a beautiful shot of this giant airplane!

Got any close-ups? I will be needing to draw a C-17 soon (RAF one)

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the opportunity to shoot an RAF C-17s. You can check my gallery, I've got a lot of C-17 shots in there, but none from the UK.

No problem - I'm not sure if the project will happen yet, bit I just wanted to get some preliminary work done....

They're awesome airplanes. It's always a treat to see these guys fly. This aircraft and demo team is based about 5 miles North of where I'm typing from right now, and they fly over the house once or twice a day. It's definitely a treat!

I really envy you, the only military aircraft that passes over my house are the UH-60 Blackhawks and the C-130 Hercules.

Sad thing was, the weather was crap (overcast and heavy rain showers) I was lucky to see it (there is a pic on Heathrow cam).

Our weather has changed in the last 5 years or so, June used to be a settled month, usually warm but not much in the way of rain, recently its been a mixture of blazing hot wall to wall sunshine (1st week), and this the second week , its been mostly cool and wet, next week the Met Office say its going to improve again!

Drove by the Long Beach airport yesterday right when one was landing. Buzzed right over the freeway. So awesome.

The C-17 amazes me every time I see it fly. It always looks like it shouldn't be in the air with how slow it seems to fly, and it's maneuvering capabilities are incredible.
