C17 in YYC

Post by 200hr Wonder »

I was out driving this afternoon at around 10am and could swear that I saw a C17 landing 34 at YYC, or am I just on crack?

I believe it was one of our new C-17's, heard it was supposed to come in on Sunday but it must have been bumped back.

I was enjoying a tour of the CC-177 flight deck yesterday afternoon in Inuvik with one of our F/A's. What a machine and my first time looking through a modern day military HUD!

CC-177 was in Calgary Tuesday, Nov. 20th. Arrived on 34 at about 10:50 am and departed off 34 at 2 pm.

Was the second one...177702...
