The prototype C-17 known as "T-1" on a test flight over Owens Valley California circa 1991

T-1 appeared in a number of major motion pictures, including "Transformers" (2007), "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" (2009), "Iron Man" (2008) and "Iron Man 2" (2010). After 20 years of supporting wide-ranging flight and propulsion test programs, T-1 had reached the end of its flying career, and was retired at Edwards AFB in 2011. T-1 was flown to the museum to begin its new career in April 2012.
