In the spirit of 3 attitude indicators and the tie-breaker principle, Yes, it is a C-17.

 

[KeroseneSnorter]

To be even more precise, it is a C-17 of the 97th Air Mobility Wing at Altus Air Force Base!!

 

[Groundpounder]

I think its a C-123

 

[Metro752]

[Hold West]

It's a C-17 "Barney".

 

[Fearless Tower]

If you think it looks funny on the outside, you should see the cockpit. It looks alot like an MD-11 with a fighter style center joystick and a massive heads up display mounted on top of the glare shield.

 

[Fury220]

What you've got there is the:

-Bent Wing Electro Jet
-Big Fred's lil friend Barney
-A KC-135 Hood ornament (I think they have to hit a tanker on a long taxi)

Experienced posters will note Sarcasm with a drop of Jealousy...

Amen brother. There's nothin' better than a cooler full of Shiner and a Tech gal sitting on your tailgate. God bless that place.
