I was recently in Zamboanga City, my hometown, and I saw a US Air Force C-17 Globemaster at the tarmac of Edwin Andrews Air Base. It's probably on a mission to resupply American troops stationed there.
I used to see P3 Orions and Predators in the base too.

That is actually a C-17 Globemaster; the C-141 has been retired.
thanks for the correction.
what threw me off is the size. I alway imagined the C-17 to look bigger than what I saw :)
you should have seen the Antonov that they had back in 2002... the landing gear of the C17 they were using had broken though the runway surface, so they brought in this GIANT plane as a leased replacement...it was huge, especially when it passed overhead, as in it brought back memories of ID4 (the movie)...
