I know a few guys flying them. Any flying impressions from people on this board?

Were you under the impression all this time that you couldn't have fun flying anything other than a fighter? Or a Bone?

that's actually one of our birds from my unit.... they were doing some airshow demo stuff there, I believe.
that plane is quite the performer, given it's size.

You can have fun flying anything, especially if it's lightly loaded. Believe it!

The C-17 is a great airplane.

The C-17 is a great airplane.

I have to agree. It was designed, tested, and built for tac airlift and it's done a great job. Too bad we don't have more of them. The critics are few and far between and most people in the know sing its praises. The AF got this one right for a change.

The C-17 is a great airplane.

It's got a kick ass galley. It also has 110v outlets down the cargo area. Great for your computers or air mattresses. If you're in one for a long haul, bring an air mattress! Oh yeah, it's fun to fly too!
