The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) operates six Boeing C-17 Globemaster III large transport aircraft. Four C-17s were ordered in mid-2006 to improve the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF’s) ability to operate outside Australia and its region. The aircraft entered service between November 2006 and January 2008 the second pair being delivered ahead of schedule. Two further Globemasters were ordered in 2011 and the final aircraft was delivered to the RAAF in November 2012.
