There used to be a site with the build info and pix for the C-17 but I couldn't find it again.  Was very impressive construction information.

I saw that video too!  You might as well sit in it and fly it, because it is soooooooo big.  There was a GIGANTIC B-52, but it crashed.  That video is on Youtube, now if I could only find it.  THere was smoke when it went in.

And to think they flew real planes by radio back in WW II.  Gues they don't count as they were built at a factory.  DOC Holliday

They did one episode on Dogfights on secret weapons.  One of them, was they were going to fly an RC full-size bomber into the V3 super cannon or something like that.  They loaded the plane with 12,000 pounds of explosives.  The pilots, one was a Kennedy armed the bomber, turned the cameras on and then...BOOM!!!  There was a short circuit somewhere in the wiring and the whole plane exploded.  There was damage from that explosion 5 miles away.  I heard they are going to come out with a new season of Dogfights this September.
