AREA 51 SIM – C-17 GLOBALMASTER FOR (FSX & P3D)

 

he Boeing C-17A Globemaster is a heavy transport and cargo aircraft used by the United States Air Force and other militaries around the world. This a high-wing, 4-engine, T-tailed aircraft can carry large equipment, supplies and troops directly to small airfields in harsh terrain anywhere in the world day or night, according to the Boeing web site. It has delivered cargo in every worldwide operation since the 1990s. Boeing, which took over the project when it acquired McDonnell Douglas, calls it the "world's most advanced."

The following description is quoted directly from the Boeing web site:

"The C-17's ability to fly long distances and land in remote airfields in rough, land-locked regions make it a premier transporter for military, humanitarian and peacekeeping missions. It can:

• Take off from a 7,600-ft. airfield, carry a payload of 160,000 pounds, fly 2,400 nautical miles, refuel while in flight and land in 3,000 ft. or less on a small unpaved or paved airfield in day or night.
  
  

• Carry a cargo of wheeled U.S. Army vehicles in two side-by-side rows, including the U.S. Army's main battle tank, the M-1. Three Bradley infantry-fighting vehicles comprise one load.
  
  

• Drop a single 60,000-lb. payload, with sequential load drops of 110,000 lb.
  
  

• Back up a two-percent slope.
  
  

• Seat 54 on the sidewall and 48 in the centerline."

On 28 July 2010, a C-17 Globemaster crashed at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska, resulting in the loss of all four crew members aboard, according to Wikipedia and other sources. An investigation found that the crash resulted from pilot error after an extreme bank at low-altitude caused an unrecoverable stall. It remains the only fatal crash of this aircraft type.

On 30 January 2009, a C-17 Globemaster crashed on landing at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan after pilots failed to lower the landing gear, an Air Mobility Command investigation concluded, according to Air Force Times. "Rumors that crew members hadn't lowered the landing gear have circulated since the Jan. 30 crash after photographs from inside the plane's cockpit showed the landing gear controls in the up position." (That makes me feel a little better about my occasional gear-up landings! Maybe I'll simulate that at Bagram and see what happens.)
