A single USAF Boeing C-17 Globemaster III performed daily during the morning aerial display at the Singapore Airshow 2012 and showed off its impressive low speed handling capabilities and agile tactical manoevures to the crowd. Able to carry twice the payload of a IL-76 and offering a unique combination of intercontinental range with short field performance, it is no wonder that the versatile C-17 features prominently in military campaigns and humanitarian aid missions around the world.
