✅ It weighs a 128 tonnes empty, with a whopping max take off weight of 265 tonnes
✅ It can carry paratroopers 10,390km
✅ It has the capacity for 134 passengers; 102 paratroopers; six high-dependency medical patients; one CH-47F Chinook helicopter; more than 70 tonnes of cargo
✅ That voice you can hear is the TAWS - it's terrain awareness and warning system - a safety net that automatically provides predictive warnings to the aircrew
✅ It will be back again tomorrow 28 September from around 4.20pm, along with our F/A-18F Super Hornet, to flypast the Riverfire event - see you then! 👋
