Took a while to get around to these. When I went to go to BFI, I toured and then started spotting outside. Another guy was standing there with my same setup except the 70-300 IS USM lens and asked if I was waiting for the C-17. I had no idea, but the thing had mx probs and had to stay at McChord. It turns out his wife, who was also there comes from the town over(Yorktown)from me in NY. The next day I went to Seattle for the day and on the way home, from I-5, I saw the monster in the PARKING LOT of the MOF. Of course my dad couldn't even resist stopping to see this beast. Because it was late in the evening, there were no cars to block my shots except the damn fence, no uploading, darn.

Cool stuff there Stuart! They alwasy seem to have something other then cars parked in that lot where the C-17 was. The last two times I was there it was a pair of F18s, def cool seeing planes parked in a lot like that.
