Looks like a March AFB bird. Great photo.

Captures just the right moment, great angle and lighting !
Brings back fond memories, spent over 200 hrs in the cockpit, hard to believe this great aircraft has been in service almost 15 yrs...

Perfect angel and prespective!

This photo is alive. Five stars, no doubts!

Don´t know why, but i think it´s excellent!

Can you imagine the true thrust here! awesome!

WOW ! Why cannot rate over 5 ???!!! Pilot thought he was in a fighter ... :)

Great angle makes the plane looked like rocketing into the sky!

Oh god! look at the Muscles...vains!

Yes this photo is alive! 5*****

Really shows what a C-17 can do - from 'down and dirty' to airborne PDQ.

This picture is so clear and just shows how powerfull this aircraft is!

Good photo with dust!

Note the positions of the aileron and rudder! Someone is really at work in the cockpit.

A sense of power that any sci-fi movie maker could only dream of achieving

Sweet!

Simply amazing. 5 Stars

WOW!!! This photo is great. Congratulations Kevin!!!!

Nice!

Very nice pic!

Great Capture, Amazing Angle of the aircraft, Loverly Colours and just a great photo! =]

The photographer did an amazing job as well as the pilot. *****plus

I thought it was a sim :P. great clarity

Awesome action shot man! I like the dust, A simple thing as sand or dust goes well with the sober but cool dark grey on military a/c's. I had a pretty good thrill about a year ago when one of these came flying over my head when I was travelling to school;
It was so low that I could see the High wing design, the T-tail and the special winglets , plus of course, its chubbiness and was therefore easily recognisable as a C-17. My guess is that it was bringing in a Dutch Chinook that needed a thorough check.

This is a awesome picture

Great angle. so mutch details are visible! and the comment to the sand....fits perfectly. haha well done.

Great, very dramatic !!

This picture is perfect. c-17 is very powerful in this prespective.congratulations

New painted

Beautiful! A lot of thrust and dust!

Saw a C-17 in NZ early in 2009 for a Air show. What a sight they are. Never knew a plane its size could do what it can do.

These planes are truly amazing, they can land in the amount of runway it takes for a DC-3 to land

Heyy dude, that photo is fricken awesome. I love globemasters but your pic just made it to the screensaver of my pc! Great shot mate :)

So impressive!!!

Picture speaks for itself! :) Awesome!

I remembered that day at the airshow. I still cant believe I was on the plane an hour before it left to march

I have been to this airshow too and seeing a f117,f16 and 18s, this is how to end a day with dust all over you. Ha.

Beautiful!

Crisp Image, great light angle, and a very rare posture for a bird of this size.

Very dramatic- one of the best photos i've seen in a long time

WOW

Houston we have lift-off ! LOL

Briliant!

Thats Just Epic!!!

That's what happens when you take off from Mars...!

Look at that rudder deflection!

Its like unreal 3d :)

Sweet!

How can you not give this 5*

This is literally awesome

Amazing takeoff!

Wow! what a zoom you have! 500mm?, 1,000mm? Great picture! Thank you!

Excellent picture indeed!

Just incredible !!
:)

The beast rises from the dust!!;)

Beautyful picture! Happy hit on the right moment! Super!

Mighty picture, reminds me a giant leech !!

This image would make a superb poster. Keep shooting, you are doing something really right.

This is the photo that got me hooked on Airliners.net over 4 years ago. Thanks Kevin!!

I love this pict! ....maybe the best of all A.net!

One of best aviation photos I have ever seen - excellent capture...

Stunning picture - high five + *****

That'll mess ya up nice pic huge plane

Big bug

This picture is exciting!!!

Terrific

Great shot. In the right place at the right time.

Reminds me of an orca whale jumping off the water

Awesome. not necessarily pretty, but quite impressive!

Clarity and composition are superb! This has to rate as one of the most technically accomplished C-17 shots ever. Good work.
