When you need a lot of stuff delivered around the globe, you use a C-17.
Selfridge featured a demonstration of the capabilities of the C-17 Globemaster III.
A four-engine transport par excellence, the Globemaster demonstrated a hot takeoff and with a roar of all its engines it up in less than 2,500 feet and climbing.
Turns out its also pretty darn maneuverable for a plane that size.
It made some pretty tight turns and was very photogenic.
It then came in for a landing and demonstrated a minimum distance landing as well.
It came to a stop show center and then taxi'id off the runway,
Quite an impressive and nimble display for such a large aircraft.
The C-17 can carry 170,900 lbs of cargo and the aircraft has even been known to carry a whale to its destination.
