JETs Vol. 26-08: C-17A Globemaster III

The Moose is back! We pulled this extremely popular release when we moved sites last year and are so glad its back in the line-up. 

The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is a large military transport aircraft developed in the 1980s to replace aging cargo planes such as the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter and supplement the larger Lockheed C-5 Galaxy in the strategic airlift role for the United States Air Force. Designed by McDonnell Douglas (later acquired by Boeing), the C-17 first flew in 1991 and entered operational service in 1995. The aircraft combines long-range strategic transport capability with the ability to operate from short, austere airfields, allowing it to deliver troops, vehicles, and humanitarian supplies directly to forward areas. Powered by four Pratt & Whitney F117 turbofan engines and equipped with advanced avionics and high-lift wings, the C-17 can carry payloads of over 170,000 pounds and perform tactical maneuvers such as steep approaches and rapid reverse-thrust landings. Since its introduction, the Globemaster III has become one of the most important airlifters in the world, serving not only the United States but also several allied nations in missions ranging from combat deployments to disaster relief.

Our C-17A JETs have been cut from an engine cowl door discovered at a boneyard and come in 3 variants: Grey, Grey Color Printed, and Structured. All tags are made of carbon fiber. The Structured tags feature titanium hardware and/or screws and are laser etched. 

This release is limited to 300 total JETs.
