72-1876 (cn CX002) This was the McDonnell Douglas entrant into the Air Force's Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition to replace the C-130 and would later form the basis for the C-17 design. Arrived at AMARG during Aug. 79 and is stored there with the PCN/Inventory No. AACX0002. |

72-1876 (cn CX002) Together with Boeing's YC-14, these two prototypes competed for a bid to replace the C130 Hercules in 1976. That never happened, but the basic design of this plane eventually found its way to the C-17 Globemaster. |

72-1876 (cn CX002) The second prototype C-15 being prepared for display at Farnborough International Airshow in 1976. The two YC-15 aircraft each had a different wingspan, this example having the shorter span of 110'. Although both the C-14 and the C-15 were initially unsuccessful, the C-15 served as the basis for the later, and much larger, C-17 transport. |

72-1876 / 01876 (cn CX002) The second and final YC15 built as an experimental STOL pure jet transport on its take off roll for a demonstration at the 1976 Farnborough Airshow. Whilst never put into production this design lead to the development of the much larger C-17 |

72-1876 / 01876 (cn CX002) This was an experimental design for a STOL replacement for the C130. Two examples were built, this being the second. Whilst production was never instigated the project lead to the development of the much larger C-17 a fact very evident when seen from this angle. |

72-1876 (cn CX002) Was the second of two aircraft built for the Advanced Medium STOL Transport programme to find a replacement for the C-130. The programme was not proceeded with, though some of the technology was used in the development of the C-17A. This aircraft was delivered to AMARC. |
