I was rolling on highway 15 heading south this morning and I'm pretty sure I saw a C-17 above montreal. It was around 11:37am and it was a big, four engine grey aircraft looked exactly like a C-17. Still, it was kinda far and high and I couldn't look at it for very long so it could've been something else.

Anyone seen it or am I seeing UFOs ?

Alright.... I guess it was a AN-124 or something like that then...

My brother was on a porter flight & also said he saw a C-17???

I think it is most probably an Antonov. They often visit YMX. I see them about once a month in the air going on approach for 24 @ YMX.

The Antonovs deliver fuselages etc. for Bombardier from Ireland.

I saw the C17 landing in YYZ a few days ago.

The USAF graciously let us step infront of them. The one that was just delivered, actually was supposed to go to the RAAF (Aussies), but a quick phone call to PM Howard from Harper took care of that issue.
