Friend of mine just sent me a very nice photo of the C-17 on approach somewhere.
Funny thing is that most people do not see the airplane for a long time...

They reduce wingtip vortices, a major source of drag on an airplane. The are kind of like the fences you see at the ends of race car wings. They keep the air going over the top from "spilling" over the tip and mingling with the air going over the bottom, which is what (for the most part) creates the vortices. Another benefit is an increas in lift by cleaning up that airflow a bit.

I love smaller boobs. If they fit in a champagne glass--not a flute--they're perfect.

My neighbor has this photo blown up and framed/matted...best picture I have seen in a long time. Cost him about 300 euro to have it done, but it looks well worth it.

The vertical tabs on the wings are so they can get the plane into the hanger without bashing the doors.

My thought was that the tips where there to keep the blind midget wing-walkers from falling off.
