JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. --  315th Airlift Wing mini C-17 demo team members Master Sgt. Michele Summers, Tech. Sgt. Nelson Irizarry and Tech. Sgt. Glenn Walker, all of the 315th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, display the mini C-17 at the last home game of the regular season for the South Carolina Stingrays ECHL hockey team March 27.

Since the dedication ceremony November 2004, it has proudly been featured at ball parks, air shows, parades, and even displayed in the courtyard of the Pentagon. The replica has received nation wide press attention. It was featured by the Air Force Times, the Associated Press as well as numerous local and regional television spots.

The project was made possible solely by volunteer craftsmen and donated material. The "Spirit of Hope, Liberty & Freedom" is available to support parades, static display, air shows, career days and other community events.
