Very nice :).

Technically, its a Globemaster III

C-124 was Globemaster II http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/C-124C_Globemaster_II.jpg
C-74 was Globemaster I http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/C-74_long_beach_2.jpg

Pedant mode off :).

Best

Alphasim said they would be adding a few repaints with their update. Who knows when that will happen, but Qatar was listed as one of the paints.

I think the two that Qatar bought are actually to support the Emir. I'm glad to see they're doing relief missions though!

I saw the C-17 on a news report too. It was landing in the background behind a man who was reporting from the airport.

Another newscast showed a Jordanian AF C-130. Long haul from Jordan!
That Qatar paint is sure cool!
