Hey y’all 👋
Last Friday, a USAF C-17 from Wisconsin visited DuPage and I was fortunate enough to see it and go inside it! Enjoy!

Fun fact: this plane can take off with only 3000 ft of the runway in Hawaii. I am not sure about the weight and balance, though.

They were empty and only had 45 minutes of fuel so they had max performance
That makes sense. Why would they do that in their regular mission?

They finished their mission in Wisconsin, but the entire crew lives in the Chicagoland area, and they just wanted to put on a show, it’s cool when you know people serving in the Air Force because you get the inside scoop on some cool stuff like this

Thanks for explaining with a reference! I thought they only show off at official airshows.
