A large military transport aircraft, consistent with a C-17 Globemaster III, is photographed on a tarmac at night. The aircraft is illuminated primarily by its own red navigation/anti-collision lights, which cast a red glow on the ground beneath it. The dark background reveals distant airfield lighting along the horizon.


A U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III assigned to the 15th Wing, Pacific Air Forces, lands at Lihue Airport, Hawaii, Sept. 12, 2026. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green requested assistance from U.S. Pacific Command and Pacific Air Forces to airlift local utility bucket trucks—originally brought in from California to support Tropical Cyclone Lala response—from Hilo to Lihue to help restore power to the community following Hurricane Lowell.
