RAAF C17's

Whenuapai has this week hosted two Royal Australian Air Force Boeing C17 Globemasters.

On the afternoon of 06 September A41-209 spent less than two hours at Whenuapai, arriving from and returning to Amberley as ASY693.

Then just before sunset 09 September A41-213 arrived at Whenuapai from Richmond as ASY694. It departed the next morning for Richmond and Amberley.

This is just the second visit to NZ by -213, the first being a fleeting stop in Christchurch 22 March after arriving from Pearce providing support to the four Hawks deployed to Queenstown for the Wanaka airshow. It spent little time at Christchurch jetting onto Amberley.
