The C-17 has just landed in Lusaka (FLLS) 7th Nov, parked on the military apron, no idea if it is the same aircraft, imagine it is as there can't be many C-17's driving round the skies in this part of the world!

There've been a lot of USAF C17s here in Joburg recently.Heard one "reach 1818" going off today,same one?
Stop at Joburg then on to Lusaka... assuming it originated in the US isn't this route a bit strange? Anyone know what the cargo is?
Nice machine BTW:ok:

Got to be up close and personal with that C-17 in Entebbe today. Parked next to it was a White House 737. Also the Uganda Migs were playing about and their MI-24 as well. Have not seen the Migs before but it looks as thought they were just streching their legs.

You can bet that an unarmed C-17 would not be running around loose with Migs up. Take a good bet that there was a flying gas station and some F-16s/F-15s around at very high altitude just waiting for someone to springload to the stupid position.
