C-17 Globemaster Desktop Model Plane
Wingspan: 12.50"
Model Length: 13.25"
Code: PW07045
The C-17 Globemaster III is capable of rapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases or directly to forward bases in the deployment area. It is also capable of performing tactical airlift, medical evacuation and airdrop missions. The C-17 takes its name from two previous United States cargo aircraft, the C-74 Globemaster and the C-124 Globemaster II.
The aircraft requires a crew of three (pilot, copilot, and loadmaster) for cargo operations. Cargo is loaded through a large aft door that accommodates both rolling stock (vehicles, trailers, etc.) and palletized cargo. The cargo floor has rollers (used for palletized cargo) that can be flipped to provide a flat floor suitable for rolling stock. One of the larger pieces of rolling stock that this aircraft can carry is the 70-ton M1 Abrams tank.
The C-17 Globemaster model plane is brought to life through this meticulously hand-carved mahogany wood done by highly experienced craftsmen. Scaled from an exact blueprint, this piece of art was lavished and hand-painted with great concern for details and accuracy. A wood base enhanced by a metal history plate comes with this desktop model plane.
