Breaking News: C17 Lands at YSSY
A C17 has just landed at YSSY - looks like a Canada government one as it has its flag on the tail. Taxiing over to the GA area as we speak

Had the call sign "CANFORCE" followed by numbers which i dont recall. It has parked down near the DHL hanger. I got a shot however the weather was as dark as the A/C.

Could it possibly be here to ferry some of our old fighter jets back to canada for refurbishment? I know they've had that Antonov doing the the deliveries but maybe they've commissioned this as well?

The Hornets dont fit in a C-17, that's why we're leasing in Antonovs rather than taking them in our own C-17s.

Thanks for the pics Tony and for the information. I hope it doesn't leave tonight and it departs in the daylight so there are some decent photos.

Nice shots Tony, given the weather. Sad that such a glorious morning turned black.
I particularly like your approach shot- very dramatic! Cheers John |
