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.

Overall it's a fun aircraft to fly. Virtavia aircraft are known to have very few clickables and systems implimented, only the bare bones which is why I usually don't buy their aircraft. This one is not much diferent in that regard, however this plane does have a few little extras implimented, like diferent MFD pages and a couple other things but it's still pretty bare bones. Visually it looks decent enough. The exterior is well modeled and accurate as stated in the description and the VC looks decent.
I found I had to move back in the seat a little ways as by default is way to close to the instrument panel. I disagree with the review below, the flight model is not that bad, I think it's decent enough. It's not perfect but it's close enough to make the flights enjoyable. This plane is the only C-17 for P3D so beggers can't be choosers. Overall I enjoy flying it.
