From Wikipedia
On 28 July 2010, a C-17 Globemaster III transport plane of the United States Air Force (USAF) crashed near Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska while practicing for a flight display at the upcoming Arctic Thunder Air Show. All four crew members on board were killed. It was the first, and to date only, accident of a C-17 aircraft resulting in one or more fatalities.
The subsequent investigation blamed pilot error for the low-altitude stall that led to the crash.
