This hand-carved C-17 Globmaster III Wood Model Airplane in New Collector Series is a mahogany wood display model plane, done by highly experienced craftsmen, a work of art hand-painted with great concern for details and accuracy.

The aircraft carries on the name of two previous United States military cargo aircraft, the C-74 Globemaster and the C-124 Globemaster II. The C-17 is used for rapid strategic airlift of troops and cargo to main operating bases or forward operating bases throughout the world. It has the ability to rapidly deploy a combat unit to a potential battle area and sustain it with on-going supplies. The C-17 is also capable of performing tactical airlift, medical evacuation and airdrop missions. The C-17 is operated by the US Air Force, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, NATO and Qatar, while the United Arab Emirates have placed orders.
