"C-17 is capable of rapid, strategic delivery of troops + all types of cargo to main operating bases anywhere in the world.
The Globemaster’s load-bearing rear ramp + digitally controlled loading enable large, complex items of equipment, including Chinook helicopters, military vehicles to be loaded"

FlightRadar24 is a great free app… takes five seconds to find location tho, so keep it near your Home Screen. very addictive
