Default Breaking News: C17 Lands at YSSY

A C17 has just landed at YSSY - looks like a Canada government one as it has its flag on the tail. Taxiing over to the GA area as we speak

This just came up on 16Right as well.

This wouldnt have been the aircraft that came into Richmond as Air Force 3686? But i was pretty sure i heard it come into land at Richmond?
