    • Australian Flying Corps.
    A history of Australian aviation from 1914-1919 and much more.
    A new airlift capability delivered to the RAAF.
    The first Boeing C-17 Globemaster III was delivered to the RAAF last week and subsequently flew to Amberley where the operating unit, 36 Squadron, has been relocated from Richmond.

    The RAAF is the third operator of the most advanced military airlifter in production today. The USAF and RAF both operate this aircraft.
