DoD video by: Senior Airman Troy Davis. Defense Imagery Management Operations Center.

U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft from the 437th and 315th Airlift Wing, Charleston AFB, S.C., conducting a cargo air drops at a remote airfield during a strategic brigade airdrop (SBA) exercise involving a 13 multi-ship formation, Dec. 17, 2008.

C-17 Globemaster III transporters must be able to meet the Army's goal of airdropping a brigade's worth of troops and equipment (approx. 3,250 soldiers and 3,450 tons of equipment).

  • what was the point of all this. were we at war something. looks like a waste of money to me.

  • 3 people like C-130's

  • Would love to see the front plane stall and have all the others smash into it

  • It looks like star wars when they were coming straight at you O_O

  • @darrinr769 thats what i just said in my head

  • if i was one of those people underneath it, i would think that a war had started :O

  • in the USA theyre flying around with 13 big and noisie airplanes only to drop some packages for fun

    and here in Germany thepeople crying around when 6 month a year 2 days a week 2 planes are flying some rounds and shooting some targets -.-'

    i hate thoose little snops -.-''

  • @TheRedexx She thought the knob was for turning on the oven.

  • What's used for the drop, meaning are they just dropping empty wooden crates with some ballast or is there something specific in the crate to increase the exercise realism like something that could brake if the crew doesn't do it right. Must be quite a site seeing 13 of those big boys taking off and landing.

  • i wana see a AC-17 ;)
