3 USAF C-17's at Richmond today..
 

Three USAF C-17's flew into Richmond late this afternoon just a question is this abnormal that we get 3 in the space of a couple hours ?

It is unusual. I know USAF were assisting with transporting of logistics back from Exercise Red Flag in Alaska last week, but I would not expect 3 C17s!

From another forum, these 3 were in Perth and had come in from Diego Garcia from what I can gather.

We have had 6 USAF C-17's through Richmond this week, I logged a fairly new one on Monday (08-8192) and another arrived after I had left. One came through on Tuesday and we had the 3 yesterday.

Which base was that new one from pete, would of been an impressive line up at richmond this week..

It was McChord Jaryd (actualy wrote it down, don't usually bother). Unfortunately they all came and went at different times.

Thanks pete I've been trying to get a picture of one C-17 from each base, I noticed that a couple were in, in the space of an hour or so...

Two of the C-17's that were here on Thursday are back at Richmond.
08-8192 arrived 1pm and 07-7189 arrived a short time ago.

Just an update, both 08-8192 and 07-7189 left earlier, Now we have 00-0182 on descent so it may overnight. All 3 were in earlier this week.
00-0182 left just before 1am, I'm sure the locals wouldn't have been happy!

thanks Peter

I heard another 1am departure last night - actually woken up by it, as it departed over Penrith. Figured it was from the RAAF base, just unsure as to what it was, probably another C-17.
