A rare visitor to Wellington - 2nd attempt!!!

This is a C17 Globemaster that I spotted, parked on the RNZAF Air Movements Base apron at Wellington recently. Even from this distance, its size is impressive!

Unfortunately, I missed the landing and will likely miss the takeoff... bummer!

[Many thanks to a visitor, 'Matt', who corrected the last version of this post when I said it was a C5 Galaxy... I was wondering just the other day when I would make such an obvious mistake!!]
