Tarmizi 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 These are few shots on Sept 28 during the Antartic Festival 08 @ International Antartic Center , Christchurch NZ. This was the opportunity too take a close look at this giant C-17. This plane just recently made a historic night landing on antartic using night vision goggles ( open up more frequent flight in / out of antartica) This machine flies to/fro between Christchurch and the US McMurdo Base on Antarctica The Tail Close-up on the awesome engine People line-up to peek into the cockpit to be cont'ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
