Over the last few weeks the RAF have been taking advantage of clear skies and empty runways in the region.
Planespotters have been treated to appearances of the Chinook, a Red Arrows Hawk and a C-103J Hercules aircraft.
This afternoon, a C-17 Globemaster was spotted flying over south Manchester.
The huge aircraft was spotted from Timperley, Wythenshawe and Altrincham.
It is believed that the plane was flying into Manchester as part of a training exercise.
