The unusual desert sand color of this C-17 Globemaster operated by the air force of the United Arab Emirates stands out from the mostly gray color scheme applied to the vast majority of the C-17s operated around the world, and at the same time blends in better with the terrain usually found in the Middle East. The 15th Strategic Airlift Squadron operates a total of eight Globemasters from Abu Dhabi International Airport.
