Had a flyover this morning in Brisbane, Australia, so I left the office for a bit and took a couple photos.
They flew right down town, 300 meters above the river. I took the photos from a bridge. Enjoy!

Cool pics. I was visiting my brother in Redding, Ca and a c17 flew over the mountains right over the city in the valley pretty low . It was an awesome sight. I live across the river from Travis AFB. I get to see them all of the time.

Love the C17. They fly over my house every once in a while. Very low and slow. It's impressive every time.

We have the depot for them here but I almost never see one in the air. We also have C-130s and F-15s in the depot and I see them all the time.

We used to load those and C5's at Ft Hood, It looks like you could out run the things when taking off lol. We had a couple so loaded with vehicles that even the pilot said he was uneasy. Amazing machines and nice camera work.
