USN C17 trials successful

The US Department of Defence have recently been investigating ways of extending the reach of the C17. With the scaling down of air to air refuelling assets, trials have been conducted to establish the feasibility of operating C17’s from the angled decks of USN carriers.

Initial fears about landing roll distances have been proved wrong, as the trial aircraft has successfully carried out a landing. I understand the next trial is to investigate the feasibility of flying it off again.
