AMC testing for semi prepared runway ops increases C-17's deployed capabilities
Shared via AddThis
The C-17 is quite a stunning aircraft with extraordinary short field performance for such a huge beast. Much of the rough strip testing of the C-17 was done in Australia in 2007 where the Australian Army, RAAF and the USAF built and operated a dirt field strip for C-17 operations from scratch at Bradshaw Field Training Area in the Northern Territory. For some more of this undertaking and some great photos see the DoD article here.
