Mumbai: The Indian Air Force (IAF) has received its third Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, a large, versatile military transport aircraft capable of carrying heavy, oversize loads long distances and landing on rough and unprepared surfaces.
Boeing is on track to deliver two more C-17s to the IAF this year, and five in 2014. The third plane joins the first and second India C-17 airlifters, which arrived in June and July, respectively.
Once India receives its full complement of ten aircraft, it will be the largest C-17 operator outside the United States.
