GEMINI JETS 1/200 USAF UNITED STATES AIR FORCE BOEING C-17 GLOBEMASTER

The Boeing (formerly McDonnell-Douglas) C-17 Globemaster III is the primary long-range, heavy lift transport in the United States Air Force. The aircraft first flew in 1991, with initial deliveries to the Air Force beginning in 1993 and fully operational status two years later in 1995. The C-17 can carry a wide variety of loads in its cavernous cargo bay anywhere in the world as aerial refueling has made the range virtually unlimited. It can be configured for passengers, paratroopers, palletized cargo, medical evacuation, helicopters and vehicles including the M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. The USAF has purchased 224 C-17?s. All of the aircraft were built in Long Beach, California. The 452nd Air Mobility Wing based at MARB operates nine of the C-17?s this model is one of them.

This model aircraft is made from die-cast metal and include extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Aeroclassics, NG Model, JC Wings, Phoenix and Aviation400 models.
