C-17s and a KC-135?
I would love to get a shot of the AFB near me if they would have a good mix of the cargo aircraft lined up but they haven't had an open house/air show in years. There is one spot along a road that could possibly provide a look but it would most likely come with a few hours of questioning as stopped vehicles get a quick response from base security. The museum on the base is so far from any of the active base stuff that even the C-5s look like toys.
