Great pics, anteater. Not to overshadow you, but I was recently invited into the flight deck of one of those grey planes (C-17) while on approach into mai-tai island (HNL) and it was an experience of a lifetime! Some visuals:

from AS922 (N942AK) SEA-BWI, 7 Dec
nice juxtaposition of special livery jets on the N gates — “More to Love” adjacent to “The Gift of Travel”
speaking of nice livery
the obligatory views of Rainier, Adams, Hood, and St. Helens from above the cloud deck
north of Missoula
looking southeast from 35000 ft over Great Falls
descending through 22000 ft near Cumberland MD

Gorgeous and bumpy sunset descent into Redding.
Initial descent into RDD
Right before entering heavy cloud cover. Had to really zoom in for this to avoid person's head in 21D. Shot came out great, imo.

some of the last “Views from Below the Wing” pix from the outbound for the Q400 retirement flight
turning onto 16L at SEA
steep turn on the departure procedure
disadvantage of an A seat when flying east
dropping the gear
on final
crosswind touchdown — note the inner wheel is down, but the outer hasn’t yet contacted the runway
