Another C-17 showed up here in Hay River, NT Canada on Sept 04, 2010. I was working at the time so the landing shot is through glass, the others are not. Enjoy!

That second shot with the mini twister is crazy! Wish it were focused a bit better though.

Ya I feel the same way. I was in my office with triple pain windows that are polarized on the outside to stop the sun. Taking pics from inside the room always makes images look a little off, but better then not capturing at all :D

Great shots!

Had to laugh when I looked at shot #5. First thing that came to mind was, "holy crap, they're gonna pull start the darn thing!". :lol:

Why I said "another" was because a month ago a different one landed here. It was 701, this one is 704. I was gonna guess that Canada had 4 but I knew someone would know for sure and respond (thanks Geoff)

I like the guy reading while refueling best. The twister is something unusual as well.
