The McDonnell Douglas/Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is a large military transport aircraft that was developed for the United States Air Force (USAF) from the 1980s to the early 1990s by McDonnell Douglas. The C-17 carries forward the name of two previous piston-engined military cargo aircraft, the Douglas C-74 Globemaster and the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II. I started working on this Plane a little over a year ago and then took a break, but I finally got it finished. I won't say it is the best at flying, but it does the job and looks beautiful. AG-1 is Lights, Enjoy!

Here are some pictures of the real C-17 in-flight.
