Default Unknown Air Force Aircraft @ YCSB
My mum said there is some sort of Air Force aircraft at Canberra, she seems to think it was a C-17.. or is she just seeing things?

There was a USAF B737 (not sure what the military type is) there that came into Sydney. Boxer 40 was the callsign.

Saw the C-17 taking off from Canberra at 10:30 yesterday morning. There's another one here right now too.

Have had two C-17's on SBS today. 05-5142 just flew over home inbound to Richmond as Reach 5E1.

The one in CBR could have been 07-7178 Reach 6E1 which was on SBS yesterday so could be the same one returning.

RCH6E1 flew in from Hickam and Pago Pago to Richmond yesterday, arriving at 1210.

It left Richmond this morning, still as RCH6E1, direct to Hickam.
