C-17 at PHX

Aviation Notable Activity
1

I went to sky harbor today (3/21/13) and there was a C-17 parked on the FedEx ramp. Does anyone know when it leaves? I would love to know!

It could be 08-8200 or 99-0166 if it flew in today.

I’ve been waiting to see that one :mrgreen:

McDonnell Douglas did offer the C-17 as a commercial freighter at one time. Boeing, after purchasing McDonnell Douglas, also offered it commercially. The model number would have been MD-17 and BC-17 respectively.

While we’re at it, do you know when AF one will be n phx next?

Not for PHX :frowning: Check for TFR’s for the PHX area for any hints… tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html
but for Southern California I would get the Mode-S alert for it.
