there was a mass takeoff yesterday 9-11-2013 at Travis AFB Cal,the haze you see is not smog,or just bay area/valley haze..its smoke from a fire on Mount Diablo in the east Bay,this was to be a tribute to the 9/11 victims and heroes,as well as a show of force/capability.
22 airlifters in 36 minutes,isnt a very good video of it..but best i could find so far..on the news last night,they had C-17s,DC-10s and C-5s lined up.

Very cool. Neat picture also of the KC-10s marching to takeoff and their airliner style climb out.
And the McDonnell Douglas Long Beach plant deliveried the final USAF C-17 this past week. Big event for the employees there. Still have foreign orders to fill but the line is winding down.

Yea, versions of that joke have been around for many years. Still always funny. "We're a lighthouse, mate. Your call."
