Our newsroom started taking calls just before 7:00 pm about a plane landing and taking off non-stop at Erie International Airport.
Retired Major Joe Pfadt told Erie News Now, “It’s a military plane, a C-17 Globe Master III, practicing short landings and training to get in flight hours.”
The C-17 Globe Master III is premier strategic transport aircraft used by the U.S. and Allied Nations.
It’s designed for global lifts; air drops and medical evacuations.
