Nice! I like the big Canada label, it's a bit less bland than the USAF counterparts.I'm a big fan of these aircraft. The first time I saw a C-17 up close was right before I boarded one to Iraq -- walking around the nose to the crew door right at sunset on the tarmac at Frankfurt, it was a spectacular scene! I wish I'd been into aircraft photography back then.
