Boeing C-17A Globemaster III, manufacturer serial number 00UK-7, serial ZZ177, was accepted at Long Beach on November 16, 2010, and delivered to No. 99 Squadron at RAF Brize Norton on January 13, 2011. In 2026 it wore special tail markings for 25 years of the C-17 in RAF service, and made two flypasts at the RAF Cosford Airshow on June 14. The RAF first leased four C-17s in 2000 to fill a heavy-lift gap while the A400M Atlas project lagged. They entered service with 99 Squadron in 2001, and the RAF bought them outright and ordered four more. Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
