Looks like a USAF C17.

Yep! Except that this one belongs to the Canadian Air Force. Check out the
markings . . .

Yeah, I noticed that in a later picture.

From the Boeing web site:
.... the Canadian government's ordered in 2007 four C-17 Globemaster IIIs,
the first two of which already are in service with Canadian Forces.
"A high-wing, 4-engine, T-tailed military-transport aircraft, the
multi-service C-17 can carry large equipment, supplies and troops directly
to small airfields in harsh terrain anywhere in the world day or night.
The massive, sturdy, long-haul aircraft tackles distance, destination and
heavy, oversized payloads in unpredictable conditions. It has delivered
cargo in every worldwide operation since the 1990s."

Xcuse me! . . .

Did you also know that CFB Bagotville was also referred to as "BAG Town"?
I have come to know it as such because every service man that I knew in
Canada called it as such. Endearing term, if you wish . . .

As far as I was concerned, I served with the "Air Force" in Canada
(1972-1977) even though WE all wore GREEN. Remember those days?
