RARE USAF C-17 Globemaster III Takeoff Wellington Intl

A massive USAF C-17 Globemaster III visited Wellington recently as part of an American delegation visiting the capital for foreign policy discussions. After being parked for a day, the plane departed Wellington to Nadi at around 8:30am. This particular C-17 is part of the 437th Airwing based in Charleston, South Carolina.

"Rare" does that mean they usually don't make it? Or do they rarely fly them? Or are they usually only landing?

This plane very rarely visits Wellington
