10boomer, you are right. I just looked it up and thats the flag of Qatar on the tail. And I just drove by the plane again and it says Qatar Emiri Air Force on the front.

I love the sequencing and complexity of the landing gear.  It looks like the front right set goes first, then the rear ones, and the left is last.



It is such a massive airplane, but makes for a great demo

Some great photos here, awesome stuff!  An Elmendorf bird came south for a weekend, the lighting wasn't great but it was neat to see different markings.

Yeah I just found the story and was going to post it.  Thanks.  Hope they order a few to help the LBC (Long Beach-Boeing) with keeping jobs a bit longer.

I thought they would have put the NATO * OTAN on it, like the E-3's

Hey there Kevin,

In the article it states the bird is going to be used in a manner in which:

Quote
Each nation will decide how to use its portion of flight hours to support national, United Nations, European Union and NATO requirements.

I guess since it's not fulfilling NATO only requirements they left that marking off of her.

Regardless, it's neat to see some different colours on a C-17 - grey and black could only go so far!  Smiley
