Air Force's third Globemaster arrives in Australia
13 February 2008
The Royal Australian Air Force’s third Boeing C-17A Globemaster III arrived at RAAF Amberley for the first time today.
The aircraft joined two other giant Globemasters already in service with No. 36 Squadron. The C-17 project’s $2.2 billion budget includes the construction of permanent facilities for No. 36 Squadron and supporting agencies at RAAF Amberley.
“This aircraft is the third of four Globemasters for Australia and continues a growth in RAAF’s Responsive Global Airlift Capability,” Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Geoff Shepherd said.
“Globemasters are already demonstrating their value in Australian Defence Force operations and exercises, supporting other ADF activities and humanitarian and disaster relief.”
Air Force accepted this third aircraft from Boeing in the United States last December. Since then the aircraft has been fitted with self protection equipment.
