Something you don't see everyday, and something I've never seen. The size difference between the C-47 and the C-17 is huge. But what a sight!

Very cool. C17's are awesome aircraft. The RAAF do flyovers for touch and go training exercises over where I used to work. Was cool seeing them every few minutes while working outside.

Great capture, though there is a ton of noise on Barney in #1. What happened?
I have never seen this formation before, way cool. Closest thing was a long time ago at Little Rock I got a picture of a 130, 141, and C5 in formation.

Post-processed them on my laptop and forgot to profile the laptop screen. I'll fix them tomorrow night when I get to my tower.

Great capture. Nice to see a C-47 w/ invasion stripes.

Pretty damn cool.

Never seen a Heritage Flight done with "heavy lifters" before.

Now that is cool. And I agree, a C-5 in the mix would have been great...shoot, throw in the C-130 also :D
