C-17 Royal Airforce Number 99 Squadron
 

I was curious how much publicity the agreement between the Royal Airforce and Boeing received yesterday, regarding the delivery of the first C-17 to the Royal Airforce Number 99 Squadron. And if any one may have a web shot picture with the new paint scheme.

Hey Drag, cruise on down to the military pilots forum, a couple of links on there to pictures of the C-17 in RAF colours.

"please report further"

to all you trusted and loyal engineers on 99 squadron, good luck with those dreadful P&W 2000 engines, you are going to need it, and some more !

Is that a RAF ensign poking out the top of that C-17. The staish must be on board. god i miss all that-like a hole in the head.

Hmm... I've seen worse

Heads up Kwik,
No pun intended, but that is a big negative on the ensign’s head. The #1 UHF antenna is mounted on the Fwd. Crown, not all of the C-17 have that particular modification, only the best for the RAF.
