Army Infantry Division Sat In C-17 Aircraft

Photograph of an Army infantry division sitting in the belly of a C-17 aircraft, 2010 - whether they are returning home from or being deployed to Iraq is unknown.

Last image is a cool looking vortex caused by the Boeing C-17

I agree. Somewhere there are pics of various types of visible jet washes.

A C-17 creates a visible vortex while using reverse thrust to push the aircraft backwards on a runway.

im glad you liked it! i love planes too!!!

we have an air force base out here so we see KC-135's here a lot and the local chapter of EAA (the Experimental Aircraft Association) flies out of the airport near my apartment...they have some pretty cool looking light aircraft they fly.

i never get to see big planes like this though

Re: Army Infantry Division Sat In C-17 Aircraft

A good round figure for an infantry division is 10,000 men. What we have here is perhaps 100 men, or a company.
