HISTORY ASPECTS:
The McDonnell Douglas C-17A Globemaster III, tail number 05-5144, serves with the 452nd Air Mobility Wing (AMW) based at March Air Reserve Base, California. The 452nd AMW is one of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command’s premier airlift units, providing global air mobility support to both combat and humanitarian missions. Delivered in the mid-2000s, C-17A 05-5144 became an integral part of the wing’s strategic and tactical airlift operations, capable of transporting troops, vehicles, and heavy equipment directly to austere airfields worldwide. The aircraft’s reliability, advanced avionics, and short-field performance made it indispensable for missions requiring rapid global deployment.
During its operational service, the 452nd AMW’s C-17A fleet, including 05-5144, played a key role in major U.S. and NATO operations across the Middle East and beyond. These missions included logistical support during Operation Iraqi Freedom, troop rotations and supply runs for Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, and continued operations supporting coalition partners. The aircraft was equally vital in humanitarian relief missions—delivering food, medical supplies, and emergency aid to disaster-stricken regions following earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods. The C-17’s ability to deliver large payloads to remote areas underscored its role as a cornerstone of the U.S. Air Force’s global mobility strategy.
At March ARB, aircraft 05-5144 has also been a familiar sight during training exercises and air shows, where its massive cargo bay and powerful takeoff performance continue to impress spectators. The 452nd AMW’s crews maintain a rigorous schedule of readiness operations, ensuring that their C-17s are prepared to respond at a moment’s notice. Whether supporting combat airlift, aeromedical evacuation, or humanitarian operations, this Globemaster III embodies the U.S. Air Force Reserve’s commitment to excellence and worldwide reach.
This 1:200 scale diecast model captures the imposing presence and precision engineering of one of America’s most capable airlifters. Meticulously detailed with accurate markings from March Air Reserve Base, this replica is perfect for collectors and aviation enthusiasts who value realism and craftsmanship. A centerpiece for any military aviation collection, it pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the U.S. Air Force’s global mobility fleet and the dedicated airmen who keep it flying.
