[1200px] The giant C-17 finally visited Fortaleza! My first time seeing this beauty in person, and the first time a Globemaster III landed here too! This military beast arrived from Curitiba on a fuel and crew rest stop. It departed to Rabat, Morocco, the next morning. Seen here taxiing to the ramp after arriving on runway 13. Fortaleza skyline seen at the background, giving a nice backdrop for this pic. The C-17 is an impressive bird, with a tall tail fin and some big engines. It looks like a flying toad! lol
