Yesterday afternoon I'm sure I saw a C17 on approach to Gatwick, I've no idea who it belonged to so does anyone else have more info?
It was on route to Brize Norton after landing. Not the Qatari one, according to my acquaintances in the know, it was a repatriation flight. SVX said:
Interesting - I'm routing through Doha tomorrow to Johannesburg - my first time on Qatar airlines. Will keep a look out for it, I had no idea there were non-military operators of the C-17.
It's still a military aircraft, operated and based out of Al Udeid. Just used by the Royal flight and painted and in a fantastic colour. Heavy paint though as it can't carry as much as a regularly painted one. Gassing Station | Boats, Planes & Trains | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
