It's not the first time a C17 has visited Leeds Bradford, which is frequently used for military training.
In August 2017, an RAF-owned C17 practised landings and take-offs from the runway.And in summer 2018, a model operated by the Canadian Air Force attracted huge crowds during a week of military exercises.
The RAF now have eight C17s, which are used to transport troops and cargo and perform airlifts, airdrops and medical evacuations. In 2015 a C17 was sent to evacuate British victims of the Sousse terror attack from Tunisia, as they are large enough to be used as an airborne hospital.
