March Air Reserve Base C-17 Globemaster III

I see these planes taking off every day, but I just got out here and I wasn't clear what planes I was seeing. Today, I got a decent photo of one and looked it up. What I'm seeing is the C-17 Globemaster III.

In 2005, the 452nd retired the venerable C-141 Starlifter and commenced transition to the C-17 Globemaster III as the first AFRC unit to operate the aircraft as an independent wing not associated with an active duty C-17 wing.[9] March is currently home to nine C-17 Globemaster IIIs, which belong strictly to the Air Force Reserve Command, as well as twelve KC-135R Stratotankers. The tankers were the first in the Air Force Reserve to convert to the Block 40 Pacer CRAG modernization upgrade.
