About the Boeing C-17A

The C-17 Globemaster III is the newest purpose-built cargo aircraft to enter the United States and western air forces. It is capable of rapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases or directly to forward bases in the deployment area. It is also capable of performing tactical aircraft, medical evacuation and airdrop missions.

In recent years the size and weight of U.S. mechanized firepower and equipment have grown, which has significantly increased air mobility requirements, particularly in the area of large or heavy outsize cargo. The C-17 can airlift such cargo close to a potential battle area.

About the Unit

This C-17 model is based on the aircraft flown by the 21st Airlift Squadron, part of the 60th Air Mobility Wing at Travis AFB, California. The squadron is the nation's newest C-17A unit in the United States.

Pre-Order Policy

GeminiMacs are a line of pre-made high quality diecast aircraft models that are 1/400 scale of the actual aircraft. The model size varies in size depending on the aircraft. Most aircraft are about the size of a coffee cup allowing collectors to have a large fleet displayed in a relatively small space like a desk or shelf. Every model is made using high quality diecast metal construction with extremely detailed paint schemes and landing gear. GeminiMacs are produced in limited quantities and are highly collectable. Total production runs for each model is between 1,000 and 2,000 pieces. Once they are sold out, the specific model is never produced again.
