Do C-17's carry Abramses? (Abramsee?)

Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2005 12:17 pm Post subject: excerpt from a site....

got this from a site on the C-17:

"Cargo Compartment - Capacity: 18 fully-loaded 463L-type cargo pallets (88" x 108" @ 10,000 pound (4,536kg) capacity); up to 40 containers for Container Delivery System (CDS) airdrops; 102 troops; 48 litter and 54 ambulatory patients and attendants; three AH-64A Apache helicopters; one main battle tank; three Bradley armored vehicles. (A combination of pallets and wheeled vehicles can be carried together when required.)

Able to accommodate nearly 100 percent more cargo volume than the C-141B Starlifter, the C-17 can carry virtually all of the Army's air-transportable, outsized combat equipment. It is also able to airdrop paratroopers and cargo. All cargo is loaded through a large ramp/door assembly in the rear of the aircraft. "

Abrams is the main battle tanks of the US army (M1A1 or M1A2) (http://www.kfinfo.ha.cn/tupian/junshi/pic/m1A2-2.jpg), very probarbly the best tank in the world and the C-17 Cargomaster is, yes, a military cargo plane. (http://www.sethwhite.org/images/airfields/first%20flight/c17%202.jpg). You probarbly know them both. Search on the net for more info.

sorry, my fault, yes, Up-Chuck is right, te C-17 is the Globemaster and the cargomaster is a completely different plane. A pretty weird one i would say.

Sorry and thanks for helping me correct myself Applause

The C-133 by Douglas was the "Cargomaster". Smile

While we're on the subject of c-17's, does anyone know where I could download a freeware model of that aircraft that Very Happy

doesn't have the problem of the fans disappearing when thrust reversers are activated? Thanks in advance.....

I didnt even know there was a free one availibe.

Yeah, there is, but i've read that some couldn't get the gear to show, and the download description say's the engines are "hollow" while in reverse. I know it's freeware, and some might say take it or leave it. I was just curious if anyone had happened to find one without those set backs. Very Happy

Hey Guys, there is a good freeware one out there. I have it with no known issues. Haven't flown it awhile, but remember ( Confused
