History:

The C-17 Globemaster III is probably the most flexible airlift aircraft to enter the U.S. Air Force inventory since the C-130 Hercules. The C-17 has been involved in numerous contingency operations, including flying troops and equipment to Operation Joint Endeavor to support peacekeeping in Bosnia and Allied Force Operation in Kosovo. In 1998, eight C-17s completed the longest airdrop mission in history, flying more than 8,000 nautical miles from the United States to Central Asia, dropping troops and equipment after more than 19 hours in the air, a feat repeated in 2000. Based on a buy of 120 aircraft, the last C-17 will be delivered in November 2004.
