The C-17 III Globemaster at the Richmond Airshow 2006

I'm actually a crewchief on the C-17, and that large grey box-like thing in on the celing of the cargo bay is actually an extended range fuel bladder: usually for overseas flights. The yellow straps are just extra supports in addition to those already installed.

great give our secrets away to the enemy.

That was totally in jest, just so you know ;) The rest of the video is far more damaging in that regard.

in the cargo bay you look at somthing with yellow staps on it is built in to the c-17 or seprate

[paul2808]

I beleive that that is the wing spar

The yellow strips are to show the center of gavity

[slave2school]

That would likely be a fuel tank.

HOTAS stick

[Andus07]

why is the control stick of the c-17 it's like an fighter aircraft rather then a traditional yoke stick of an transport aircraft

[gbopirate]

Because of the fly by wire technology that has. very similer to the F-16

[Italy306]

also if it its in danger it can react as fast as an F-16 or any other fighter thats y its a joy stick
