Perspective issues or not, that still shows just how far we've come in so very little time.  8)

@raafif: it does look like a scale model C-47. Combination of telephoto and the just plain big C-17. 

@CliffyB: We have seen many fly bys of the fighter generations but this first one I have seen with Transports. That why I thought it was worth posting.

According to Wikipedia, "Integral Cavalier wingtip tanks have been removed." Actually the two-seat Cavalier Mustang IIs used as AH-56 Cheyenne program chase planes never had those wing tip tanks installed.  ;)

You're sure of that?

I came across this picture today.

From flightglobal.com article (LINK):

"Today's image of the day depicts an EA-18G Growler from VX-31, also known as the "Dust Devils". The photo was taken by Jamie Hunter of Aviacom for the United States Navy. <...>
The shot was taken over the desert terrain of interior California, near the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station, where this aircraft is based.
<...>"
Cheers,
Moritz

that's a beautiful shot of, I would guess, a Yuma-based MV-22B.  It's definitely clear enough that I can spot most of the areas I've got a familiarity with.

You're sure of that?

Hmm, maybe it was just 44-72990 that lacked the tip tanks?

Perhaps new low end of high-low mix of littoral ships ?
