The journey home: Final USAF C-17 takes inaugural flight

General Paul Selva, Air Mobility Command commander, takes control of C-17 Globemaster III, P-223, mid-flight during the inaugural flight of the final U.S. Air Force C-17 Sept. 12, 2013. Lt. Gen. James Jackson, Air Force Reserve commander, performed the take-off from California and Lt. Gen. Stanley Clarke, Air National Guard director, landed the aircraft at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. This historical event comes more than 20 years after the 437th Airlift Wing and the 315th Airlift Wing took delivery of the very first C-17 to enter the Air Force inventory June 14, 1993 and marks the successful completion of C-17 production for the U.S. Air Force.
