Unusually cloudy for a late-June day in Central Washington, but it makes for a good background for this C-17 coming in on final. It is easy to see why the US Military paints the majority of the aircraft gray.
I had a great opportunity to go out on the ramp as these two Chinooks came in on a training flight from JBLM. It is amazing what 10 years of constant combat and training will do to a paint job!
