Hei allesammen! [image]http://www.flightsim.no/ubb/images/icons/smile.gif[/image]

Jeg observerte en C-17 Globemaster "on final" ca. klokken 18:25 idag.

Heiv meg i bilen med kamera og kikkert og rakk å knipse et par bilder.

Desverre var det noen mindre hyggelige karer i vaktbua, så jeg måtte ta bildene fra utsiden av gjerdet.. [image]http://www.flightsim.no/ubb/images/icons/frown.gif'>http://www.flightsim.no/ubb/images/icons/frown.gif[/image]

Litt info om flytypen generellt:

Lagd av McDonnell Douglas aircraft corp.

Wide-body tactical airlifter, capable of operating on a variety of surfaces.

In comparison with the C-5 Galaxy, which can only utilize approx. 120 airfields, the C-17 can utilize over 19000 airfields all over the world.

The first production aircraft rolled out in December 1990, with the first flight on the 15. September 1991.

The C-17 is able to carry a multitude of loads, and is capable of airdropping the US-Army's latest infantry fighting vehicle.

 

A special feature on the C-17 is the externally blown flaps, a system designed to reduce final approach and landing speed.

With this powered lift system, the engine thrust is directed to double-slotted flaps to produce additional lifting force.

Litt mere info om det aktuelle flyet jeg observerte på Sola..:

USAF Air Mobility Command (AMC)

Nummer 00534, tilhørende 437th og 315th AW.

Jeg kan legge opp bildene, hvis det interesse for det.

Bildene ble desverre ikke særlig bra.. [image]http://www.flightsim.no/ubb/images/icons/frown.gif[/image]

Have a nice&safe flight!
