CC-177 company numbers:
So far, my readers have identified three possible company identification numbers for these aircraft:

the names plates carry 6 digit numbers, 077701 to 077704

Boeing / Mac-Doug uses a fuselage number for all C-17 production, starting with F1 for the first prototype. This is perhaps the most useful number, since the same sequence covers all USAF/RAF/RAAF/CF aircraft, and structural test articles

it appears that these aircraft are also identified with contract item numbers, CA-1 to CA-4
