At the same time Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Boeing CC-177 Globemaster III (C-17A) 177704 as "Titan 01" flew South-East from Amberley out to sea and back and late this afternoon was flying around Amberley as "Titan 02".
These Globemasters - along with RAAF C-17s - are involved in Exercise Global Dexterity 25-1 which is being conducted at RAAF Base Amberley between 24 April and 10 May 2025. The interoperability training program is held biannually and designed to rehearse C-17 concentration of force during airborne operations, air to air refuelling and airdrop/airland during semi-prepared airfield operations.
The 25-1 iteration included participants from Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), United States Air Force (USAF), Royal Air Force (RAF) and Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) aboard RAAF and USAF C-17 platforms. The RAAF C-17A provides strategic and tactical airlift across the Indo-Pacific region, with its ability to provide short-notice and time-critical airlift support making it essential during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations
