US Air Force Globemasters have headed to the desert to prove the versatility of the huge cargo plane - by carrying out a series of take-offs and landings on a dried-up riverbed at night.

Aircrews from 418th Flight Test Squadron, 412th Test Wing and the 911th Airlift Wing conducted the joint nighttime training exercise at Bicycle Lake Army Airfield at Fort Irwin in California.

The aim was to test their skills in an austere desert environment under the cover of darkness.
