C-17 heavy- read up the annex on the C-17 in the ATP 56- it should scare off most KC-135 boomers from letting us anywhere closer then the picture here.

Funny post. Did you know that the C-17 pushes the KC-10 around more so than the C-5? (IMO) I guess the C-17 has a bigger bow wave.
The C-17 has some very intersting resonance characteristics during AR. First, the tail wiggles (probably the turbies from #2). Second, the engines wiggle. Third, the wing flexes up and down end-to-end and it warps (or twists) from the weight of the engines pulling forward and down, so much so, it causes the winglets to visibly move forward. It's pretty cool.
