C-17 Pilots Graduate here in Australia
Flight Lieutenant David Whyte and Pilot Officer Stephen Maunder are the first two Royal Australian Air Force pilots to undertake their conversion course at RAAF Base Amberley. Until early 2010 all Australian C-17A pilots were initially trained on the aircraft in the United States.
Australia is the only country outside of the United States with its own local-based C-17A pilot training facilities. All other Globemaster operating Air Forces conduct their C-17A pilot training through the United States Air Force.
