C-17 Virtual Operations Group and Native MSFS C-17

I'm a bit of a fan of Destroyer121's C-17, as it's one of the few current real-world military aircraft I'm still interested in. I haven't flown the model much but I'm very impressed with it, and looking forward to further development.
 
Well, after download, install, and first two flights, I'm impressed. There are some bugs, missing systems, and a couple of minor visual artifacts, but overall, it's really good (it's almost unbelievable that it's free).

I did a flight in IFR with an ILS approach, and another in with approach on the localizer. In both cases, with some minor weird behavior, the AP and systems performed well. The ILS landing was just a bit problematic, but that could be the airport. Anyway, I like it enough to put my custom colors on it and add it to the fleet.

Seeing the C-17 not in military outfit is like having a Corvette or Ford Mustang with electric engine. It does not match for me, but the addon seems to be one of the best carrier freeware addons to me...
