Unloading AH-64 Apache Helicopters from C-17 Globemaster III

Helllo; There's an old saying that amateurs think about tactics, professionals think about logistics. Getting to the fight, resupply, getting the right things to the right place at the right time. Food, fuel, ammunition, spare parts, personnel, medivacs. That is where countries like the US, the Russian Federation, Europe's NATO members. They all have strong logistical components to their country's military. Just look at those luxurious, 1st class style seats, sometimes with extended leg room! I bet these are fantastic at putting stuff in a car, garage or shed. I’ll never fail to be astounded by a helicopter being amputated of bits off it, put it into a huge plane, then put it back together again. I noticed the Apache was setting on a sideways angle in the fuselage of the C17. Is there not enough room for it to close the ramps if it was in straight? Or is it a weight/balance issue for the C17? Haveing been a C-17 expeditor I can tell you that you can load a much larger helicopter in this aircraft. Enjoy the video.
