Sure, they told US to avoid MacDill but do they?
With video of the takeoff. The minimum runway for a C-17 is 3500 feet. The Davis Islands runway is 3580 feet. Prolly left a few crew behind.
[Yeah. It's a dupe.]
Air Force officials are trying to figure out why an Air Force C-17 Globemaster III cargo jet heading to MacDill Air Force Base instead landed at Peter O. Knight Airport this afternoon.
The plane, flown by a crew from the 305th Air Mobility Wing at McGuire Air Force Basee in New Jersey, was arriving from Southwest Asia carrying 23 passengers and 19 crew when it made an "unscheduled landing," according to Sgt David Carbajal, a McGuire spokesman. There appears to have been no damage to the aircraft or the airport, said Carbajal.
