The skies over Nowra were graced with a rare sight on the morning of Friday 4th June 2010, as a Royal Australian Air Force C-17 A Globemaster turned wide circles over the entire region.
The C-17 was providing support to the Army Parachute Training School (PTS), for the first time providing a Basic Parachute Course with the opportunity to use the Aircraft for parachute descents.
