C-17? Uh, uh. Nope. Not the Cargomaster III.

Rather the C-133 Cargomaster II. C'mon this plane is brutally handsome. Developed to carry intercontinental ballistic missiles, in its first form it could carry 100,000lbs, 2000nm. Man I love turboprops!

You compare that skank to the C-17!? She's actually not bad looking. I absolutely love turboprops - apparantly it's all I'm really destined to fly, and that's OK by me. The sound when you kick her into reverse after touchdown might be my favorite sound 8)
 

Nice looking but a miserable failure. It had the bad habit of falling apart in the sky. Killed some good men.

If you like airlifters, a real winner is the C-141!
 
Grob. Looks to much like so many other airplanes (eg Swearingen J-30, etc).

How about the Ratheon-Beechcraft Starship. What a shame that this was a short run. And then the travesty of chopping up all the airframes. My God.
