A U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III T-1 flies over Owens Valley, California, for a test sortie. Edwards Air Force Base, California, welcomed the aircraft home after 208 days of life-extension modifications in San Antonio, Texas. The T-1 is the first Air Force C-17 built to perform developmental testing.
