Default How quiet is the C17!

I was at the Clarendon Homes display home village just opposite Parklea Markets yesterday when I heard a ever so slight rumble in the air, I look up expecting to see a small jet of some type, maybe even a biz jet and get the shock of my life when I see it was a massive C17 only a couple hundred metres above my head. Having never seen on in the air before I was very very surprised and just how quite it was. I guess you just don't associate war birds with quietness.

I then instantly remember that it was bringing home our fallen digger from Afghanistan. May he rest in peace.

Cheers
