The 452nd Air Mobility Wing (AMW), based at March Air Reserve Base in California, operates the Boeing C-17A Globemaster III in support of global airlift missions. As the first Air Force Reserve unit to fly the C-17, the 452nd provides strategic and tactical airlift, airdrop, and aeromedical evacuation capabilities. Their C-17s typically wear the standard AMC gray scheme with "March" tail flashes and unit markings. The wing supports operations worldwide, including combat deployments, humanitarian relief, and joint exercises. With its versatility and long-range capabilities, the 452nd AMW's C-17s play a vital role in extending U.S. airpower and logistics reach globally.
Designed by McDonnell Douglas as a military transport aircraft, the C-17 Globemaster III was first flown on September 15, 1991. This enormous aircraft is used for strategic airlift of cargo and troops, and is capable of rapidly deploying and sustaining combat troops in potential battle areas. Among its many additional uses are medical evacuation, airdrop and tactical airlift. Powered by four reversible turbofan engines, the C-17 requires a crew of just three (a pilot, copilot and loadmaster). Its Maximum payload is 170,900 pounds and it is capable of carrying and dropping 102 paratroopers and their equipment. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Gemini's 1:200 scale C-17 is a large and heavy model in this scale (over two pounds) and is constructed almost entirely of solid diecast metal. The heavy wide-body fuselage features an all around seamless construction with pad-printed windows and door and is supported on an all metal fix landing gear with soft rubber tires. Both hinged cargo bay doors articulate at the rear of the model with large actuating pistons mounted to the loading ramp visible when displayed in the open position. Additional details include solid metal wings with exceptionally detailed turbo fan engines and an all metal empennage topped with a glimmering jewel-cut anti-collision lens.
