Travis KC-10A, C-5M, & C-17A @ March Field

Team Travis reservist conducted an exercise called Golden Phoenix '23. They flew a KC-10, two C-5Ms and two C-17s down to March for the operation. Here are some scenes from outside the fence.

I saw these yesterday when I was driving down to San Diego, my first time seeing both the C-5 and the KC-10 in person!

My FIL got his navigator rating there in 1942 and served in B-24s throughout the South Pacific

Them C 5's are a lot more quieter ten the one's I worked on back in the 70's

Yeah they sound like regular airliners now...

[@danielhiggins3350]

Skyes9 have they starting building the new 2 bay Hangers for the Kc-46's yet?

[@Skyes9]

From what I was told, March has not officially been selected as a 46 base just yet. No construction just yet.
