Two U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster IIIs take off for air-drop exercise at the Sicily drop zone at Fort Bragg NC. Fifty-five tons of heavy cargo and 204 paratroopers were successfully air-dropped from six C-17's to demonstrate the utility of the U.S. Air Force's newest airlifter to meet the Army's brigade air-drop requirement
