(US Air Force displays LARGEST-EVER C-17 launch from a single airbase)

Quote:
The US Air Force has carried out what is says is the largest C-17 launch ever from a single base as it filled the skies with 24 Globemaster III tactical airlift aircraft in a matter of minutes.

Joint Base Charleston in South Carolina said it launched the Globemaster IIIs to demonstrate the wing's ability to rapidly project overwhelming airpower, alongside joint partners.

I live relatively near an AF base, so those frequently fly overhead, and often at low altitude. They always catch my eye and I have to watch them fly by because they look so different than other planes and just don't look like they should be able to stay in the air because they look like they are barely moving.
