National Museum of the United States Air Force CMI Package

Boeing C-17 (T-1) Globemaster III (S/N: 87-0025)

Boeing C-17 (T-1) Globemaster III, serial number 87-0025, will be painted in a manner consistent with the aircraft’s appearance when it took its final flight to the National Museum of the United States Air Force on 25 April 2012.

T-1 was essentially hand-built for the sole purpose of developmental test and evaluation, with an estimated life span of approximately five years. The aircraft was periodically rebuilt and refurbished over the years and its lifespan grew from five to twenty-one years.

In addition to its role as a flight test aircraft, T-1 is also a Hollywood star. The aircraft appeared in country superstar Toby Keith's Emmy Award-winning production of "American Soldier." T-1 went on to appear in five motion pictures: Transformers, Iron Man, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Iron Man 2, and Superman: Man of Steel.
