White C-17

[maddog65]

Im working in Rota Spain right now and was going to work the other day and I saw on the ramp a C-17 with a white top, grey bottom and it looked like a yellow/black/yellow band in the middle. I couldn't get close enough to see the nationality so I was wondering if any body knew he owns it. I thought it might be Kuwati but from the pictures I have seen on line the band is wrong. It left yesterday afternoon from LERT if that can help anybody with tracking it.

As far as i can see there are only 2 C-17s with white top and lower grey with bands and that they both are with the Kuwati Air Force..

Much thanks

Thanks guys,
I couldn't get close enough to the fence line when I was heading down to the ships in the morning to get a good look at it and when I got done with work for the day it was gone. Serves me right for the one morning I didn't take my phone with me and take a picture of it.

That is correct Kuwait has 2 of the non-traditional paint schemed C-17's. Qatar has the other. It has an Oryx on the tail, and is white on the bottom, dull gray on top. Hard to miss that distinctive tail scheme. (There are 3 C-17's painted in non-military schemes).
