I know nothing about planes, but what was that massive grey plane that just came over Perth 9.45am. It was flying low for such a massive plane, I couldn't see any other markings (looked RAAF?) had 4 engines sorry don't know much but interested what this was.

If you that's big, check out a USAF C-5 Galaxy. 20m longer and wingspan 15m wider. Not seen here as often as the C-17 unfortunately.

Probably changed their rules since 9/11, but in the past, the USAF was more likely to let you look around, than the RAAF was.
