    A large military cargo aircraft, consistent with a C-17 Globemaster III, is captured in flight over a military air base on a clear sunny day. The aircraft appears to be in a climbing departure phase with landing gear retracted. Below, a large institutional building with an air traffic control tower is visible on the airfield.

    U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft tail 0194, assigned to the 445th Airlift Wing, soars over the flightline at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, July 30, 2026. Tail 0194 sustained extensive damage last year but was repaired by the 445th Maintenance Group in collaboration with the Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office and University of Dayton Research Institute to fabricate a nose panel using robotics technology to form sheet metal into a functional replacement part, the first of its kind produced, tested, and flown on an Air Force airframe.
