ZZ173 (cn P-77/UK-3) The serial numbers for the RAF’s C-17 fleet were awarded out-of-sequence so that they would reflect the order in which they were delivered — the third of the four original RAF C-17s (ZZ173) is seen here during a protracted pre-flight check before departure from its home base. The RAF C-17 fleet is now to be augmented in Europe by a NATO fleet to be based in Hungary. |

ZZ173 (cn P-77/UK-3) Disturbing the remnants of the previous days' snow as it lifts off runway 33 after a characteristically short roll. These aircarft are still regular visitors to Birmingham, bringing in injured servicemen and then, as here, positioning out to their base at RAF Brize Norton. |

ZZ173 (cn P-77/UK-3) Made some touch and go�s with some very nice and low approaches here at RAF Brize Norton. You can also see the red blinking traffic lights stopping the cars during these low landings. Canon 350D |

ZZ173 (cn P-77/UK-3) This 99 Squadron aircraft was the third of the original four leased RAF C-17s and was delivered on 4 August 2001. The RAF has decided to buy the aircraft on expiry of the lease in 2008, and to purchase another, bringing the fleet to five. The C-17 blurs the distinction between strategic and tactical transport, with a 4,500-mile range combined with the ability to land on semi-prepared strips of only 3,500ft length.
