CHARLESTON, S.C. (AFPN) -- A formation of 17 C-17 Globemaster IIIs fly
in formation. This year's $1.3 billion military construction
request, as part of the president's fiscal year 2007 budget plan, is
the largest in the last 15 years and includes projects for new mission
beddowns for the C-17 Globemaster III. The flight demonstrates the U.S.
Air Force's strategic capability and is the largest formation of C-17s
to take flight from a single base. The C-17s are assigned to the
437th and 315th Airlift Wings at Charleston Air Force Base. (U.S. Air
