The Boeing C-17A Globemaster III is one of the key strategic transport aircraft used by armed forces around the world to transport soldiers, equipment and humanitarian missions. The version operated by the United Arab Emirates Air Force is unique in its sandy desert color scheme, which differs from the standard gray camouflage used by most operators of this type. This special paint job better matches the Middle Eastern environment while giving the aircraft a distinctive look. The 15th Strategic Airlift Squadron operates a total of eight C-17s from Abu Dhabi International Airport, providing strategic lift capacity for both regional and international deployments.
