Impressive C-17 departure out of RAF Northolt

Caused a bit of a WTF moment whilst driving down the A40 at about 4.45pm yesterday afternoon close to RAF Northolt, and more so to quite a number of car drivers in the vicinity judging by the amount of weaving and application of brake lights it caused as it climbed out over our heads...

Didn’t look like one of ours, from the brief glimpse I got, so assume it was a USAF one collecting GB Jr.’s Limo’s from his London visit?
I guess with the C-17 now, it’s easier than having to use a C-5 or C-141 in and out of Mildenhall as would have been done in the past.
