AVALON AIRPORT- MARCH 1, 2019. The Friday show of the Avalon Airshow 2019 saw a problem with the USAF Boeing C-17 Globemaster. Avalon Airport is notorious for having hawks gliding and hanging around the runways. Unfortunately, one of them was sucked into one of the massive jet engines of the mighty C-17. Its display was cancelled and the aircraft aborted its landing before being taxied to a hanger for engineers to inspect the damage.
