It does seem rather remarkable just how similar in payload and range
these two aircraft are, though the C.17 is a bit faster.

Wow, I just noticed (I think) that on each wing the props are
contra-rotating: Left wing to right, No. 1, counter-clockwise; No. 2
clockwise; No. 3, counter-clockwise; No. 4 clockwise. I don't think I have
ever seen that in a 4-engined A/C before.
