Large loud military jet- thursday 29july 6pm

[Damien]

Can anyone tell me what large jet may have been flying toward Richmond RAAF on Thursday night approx 6.30pm? I live in northwestern sydney, and the noise sounded like a fighter, but the shape was too large, and the noise lasted too long- it was not a c130.

My guess would be a C-17

sorry for the delay- been away! thanks for the interest.
possibly a c17, but we're used to them and this one seemed bigger and louder.
wondered if a C5 Galaxy had come back. Ive seen them at Richmond before, but its been a few years ago now.

I heard the noise as well in Berowra, and I realized it came from Richmond.
I think it was just to loud for a C-17 and it lasted to long!
