RAAF Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Visits Adelaide

On Thursday, 1st November, A Royal Australian Air Force Boeing C-17 Transporter Aircraft visited Adelaide Airport. These aircraft are based at the RAAF base in Amberley, QLD however they are not a rare sight around Darwin. It is extremely rare to see one of these aircraft in Adelaide and the reason it was here is unknown. It is quite rare to see any RAAF aircraft at Adelaide Airport as most of the aircraft land at the Edinburgh RAAF Base. At Adelaide Airport, RAAF KC-30 (A330 MRTT) and C-130J Hercules aircraft are about the only military aircraft that come apart from the occasional touch-and-go from RAAF P-8 Poseidon aircraft. Here are a few photos of the RAAF C-17 (these photos are sourced from Jetphotos, and are not from the aircraft’s visit to Adelaide):
