Watch as U.S. Air Force Airmen demonstrate a rapid aircraft preparation procedure on a C-17 Globemaster III at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. Known as a 'flush,' this contingency method swiftly transitions the aircraft from its standard parked state to a state of readiness for takeoff, a crucial response to the threat of an imminent attack. Witness the precision and efficiency of our dedicated Airmen as they ensure the aircraft is always prepared for any situation.

U.S. F-16 Pilots Rush to Takeoff with Afterburner to Intercept Russian Jets

Thank you everyone for watching. We didn't expect this video to become so popular.
Regarding the many comments about long emergency takeoff times, please note that the 11 minute emergency takeoff timeframe for the C-17 may seem only slightly longer, but in military operations, every minute counts. This enables thorough security checks and ensures mission success while prioritizing speed.
Full throttle takeoff is the norm It is called TOGO and stands for Tack-off / Go around whats rare is not using TOGO or as you keep incorrectly calling it "Full Throttle', if you're going to call your channel in fact try to get the facts accurate.

This is yet another reason why checklists are so important for all aviators. Even in a rush, the checklist is used 100% of the time so nothing is forgotten. Awesome job here to the loadmasters and pilots on this one!
Shill.
Shill.
Shill.
Shill.
Loadmasters? I didn't see anything in the bay.
This is what most of my airport departures feel like, when I don't prepare the night before.
As a last resort you do the Tom Cruise and cling onto the outside of the aircraft
PROPS TO OUR CAMERA MAN!!!! RAN LIKE HECK AND STILL GOT GOOD SHOTS!
Agreed. I'd love to see what type of gimble or Steadicam used. The starting running scene was as smooth as a drone.
The camera was behind a girl so the one holding the camera was probably another girl, look how far the guys left them behind...
@@joeramirez-zt9etwow
He used a GoPro
...yes because running with a potentially large camera is just easy as hell.@@joeramirez-zt9et
Nothing but respect for our military
I've never seen crews run that far for emergency take off. They are transported in a vehicle like a van.
Yeah. I don't know how a run like that will help them prep the plane. I think there is a lot that can be missed and potential for injury. Slow is fast sometimes. Firefighters for example WALK when they go to their equipment and at the scene.
Not gonna have a vehicle every time pal
The old lifeguard in me was blowing my whistle and yelling WALK!!! 🤣
@@Steve_Farwalker
💯👍🏻
I thought the same, use a vehicle. Get there all winded and then have to focus on the pre-flight check list. I also wondered what possibly could be an emergency take off situation for a cargo plane let alone a virtually empty one.
99.9% of any people complaining about the time in this video are still opening their eyes drinking a cup of coffee while these folks are hot prepared!
Hell yeah
this is a drill, imagine doing all that in full gear. Great job, and thank you for your service
If a C17 has to take off this quickly we are probably screwed
You have never been on a flight line nor a combat ready aircraft.
you really haven't a clue do you? Do you know why they have wheel chocks or pitot covers or why they have a million switches to flick? You probably should delete this post. You have made a fool of yourself, Watch them starting up a Boeing at the airport the next time, ffs
Remember Afghanistan?? This is probably why they practice this.
Go Go Go 😂
@@twelvepercentitalian2511 Yep, I know someone who was on those flights. What made them an even bigger challenge was dozens of people clinging to the aircraft hoping to get out. More than a few hung on long enough to fall to their deaths after take off.
Whew!! That was a long distance sprint out to their C-17 Globemaster. God bless the USAF and all of our men and women serving our country in uniform!!
FYI, it's NOT done this way in real operations!!! This is all false, the airmen running across the flightline like that!!!
All false!!!
My friend has a house on north shore Oahu. The C17 's fly by super low doing fast turns. It's pretty amazing to see. Respect is huge for these servicemembers.
I worked 12 years at FT on this platform. I was engine run qualified then Trainer, SME and red x certified. I absolutely loved working and running this aircraft coming from 141's and C5 background. The only issues were OBIGGS 1 but was replaced by OBIGGS 2 and ECS problems related to bleed air leaks or faulty components. It was always cool to do engine runs at night and watch the static electricity in the engine inlets. There was also the possibility of a compressor stall on humid days even when running at power for only 2 minutes. But for a presumed throw away aircraft at one time, the C-17 has turned out to be a very reliable machine.
You sure like your acronyms. Jackass!
C'141 flt engineer at Norton afb 1979 1989 great airplane
Speak English damnit!
Ill always remember the first time I saw a C-5 Galaxy take off. I broke out laughing as it didn't seem real that something that big could take off and become airborne in such a short distance. These Globemaster C-17s have the same effect, amazing and fun to watch the AF crew working in sync to get er up in the air. Godspeed USAF...
Gotta admit, it was purely amazing watching them land fully loaded and take off out of Mogadishu on that tiny assed runway . . . .
The first time I flew in a C5 climbing a ladder to get to the seats and then sitting backwards
C-5 was the best.
Try to imagine it landing in -45c in Greenland in the winter.
First time I saw an A380 I thought the same. But the best I saw was the Antonov 225 (god rest her soul) which was unreal. We walked beside her, watched her unload and take off again… just WOW!!!
I had never thought about a C-17 crew doing an emergency takeoff drill before. Probably because most of the time they only show fighter and bomber crews scrambling.
Good observation!
Аварийное бегство. Мало ли где ещё обосрëмся
From the comments, it appears most folks don't know what goes into getting an airframe as complex as a C-17 into the air. The more systems that are involved in the airframe, the longer it takes to get everything up and going - and the C-17 is VERY sophisticated, to go along with its host of capabilities. And as for the rather snarky comment about every broken piece of US military equipment being "better for the world," let's hear you say that when the military is delivering food, water, and shelter to your disaster-ridden country. . .
@waynemorgan8727...Preach it, brother....right on..!!
Could have used an air drop on Lahaina, Maui...
That cameraman deserves a medal
The board number of the plane they started to prepare for Takeoff was 6155, but the plane that took off at the end of the video was 0048.
Multiple videographers. One filming from ground side and another filming the action from within a specific aircraft.
And?
Oooh good observation
Yes, the one that the videographer _boarded_ took off with that camera _on board_ and the other one was filmed from _on the ground_ 🙄
How hard is that to understand?
@@christopherbedford9897 I think he was referring to the fact that when they ran up and started prepping at like 1:20 it says 6155 at the end it’s 0048. I think it’s missing the point of the video but it’s valid
USAF 62-70. Aircraft radio tech. We were just the lowly enlisted grunts, but we kept them able to get their rear ends in the air. It takes everybody to make these things possible.
Whatever
A “grunt” is usually in reference to an infantryman right?🤔
@@thadlm2698 any enlisted rank below sergeant in the Air Force compared to officers was considered lower than low by those upper ranks. Grunt was a step up in many of their opinions. We kept their aircraft flightworthy and safe and in my 7 1/2 years I don’t remember being thanked or even hardly spoken to by an officer unless it was official business. We were always the expendable ones. Oh well, I signed up for it. I know what I did.
@@thadlm2698 Also, in battle situations there are lower ranks of officers out in the field. In the Air Force, at least the jet Jockys, just lit their fire and sailed off into the wild blue yonder. They thought that they were all important hot shots. At least in Panama where we had prop aircraft, most of which were WWII vintage, the aircrews weren’t so cocky. It was a bit better.
USAF '79-83. Avionics & ECM. Teamwork, training, and attention to detail. It was an honor to serve. Thank you to all who volunteer now & in the future!
Great teamwork! I’ve toured one of these beasts at an airshow. As an engineer, I’m always impressed by the complexity of these aircraft.
Shill.
The crazy part is that they are simplified as much as possible to make emergency take off and such as easy and quick as possible
@@unablesmilethegamer4323I was gonna say. These things are so complex yet so simple at the same time. Over-engineered but still as bare bone as you can get. Have as little stuff on these things as possible to limit the amount of things that can go wrong. Amazing combination of engineering
So many people always ask why do you need a checklist, I've flown for 20 years and still used it.....missing one step or switch can be life altering
In my days in the Air Force as a jet engine tech, I watched them do this with B-52 s quite often.
Watched them at Barksdale AFB and it was really cool
Was at K I Sawer, Blytheville, and Grand Forks retired in 78.
The SAC guys did this stuff all the time..
Watched them at Altus 1966-67 SAC
A flying football field. Amazing. What would the Wright brothers think if they could see that?!
They would have wished they were the first to fly in a heavier than air machine instead of an Englishman. Ha!
@@Janus-fn2uzEverybody funny.
Now you funny too
They probably would think it was a UFO!
Orville Wright lived to see B29's & jet airplanes (died 1948), so he got surprisingly close...
From start to clearing of the aircraft, less than 12.00 minutes, incredible, bravo.
There are a few edits though in this clip. It's not one continuous shot, so the real time from start to finish would be interesting to know
Uh slow actually
Even with running to the plane 😂😂
like you know more than the military
@@jonathanpiland8858
12 minute.. War is over😂
Teamwork is a beautiful thing that gives us the essential juice of life.
i had the privilege to visit one during Air Defender. Truly beautiful aircraft. I love the compressor blade clacking during startup
This US built giants are the backbones of our Air Force, Love from India.🙏
Salutations to the world's most populous democracy.
Don't forget the C5-B
Yes, the Air Force has many trucks, buses, and vans to transport aircrew and ground crew to their aircraft.
I was gonna suggest getting some Golf Carts :)
This aircraft has a tactical capability to deliver to remove air strips, and where an event requiring fast departure would be more likely.
It seems they are practicing and training for situations where the support vehicles are not available.
@@noamyemini…by practicing running!
@@wyskass861 I flew a C-17 to Antarctica and the aircrew still took a van to the plane even on the ice runway.
I love seeing these planes flying around. You catch them once in a while.
there used to be a s.a.c. base about 20 minutes south of where i live. the department of defense ended up closing the base in the early 1990'. it was common to see the b-52's and the jet fighters flying over, that no one really thought to much about it. they always had at least 1/3 of the bombers in the air at all times. this was during the cold war with russia. i live in marquette, michigan. the sac base was k.i. sawyer. the civilians always knew to stay away from the nuclear bombs area. my understanding was that the military had the authority to shoot first and don't worry about asking questions.
For me it’s always a thrill to be on, or watch aircraft. They’ve probably practiced without the actual take off but they did it smoothly and as a team. Always dependable…USAF. 👋🇬🇧
You a Brit? Former USAF SSgt here. There was a detachment of Brits at Al Udeid when I was there in 2005. Awesome folks, all of you - never a cross word between us, everyone was there for the same mssion. Same with the Aussies, who were there with their C130s. Hell of a good group of people there. Cheers. 😎
@@AllThingsMechI was there with the same Aussie unit in 2005 also. Well, we got booze from them 😂 crazy small world man.
@35057 haha right on brother! I remember hanging out in the Brit's internet trailer because they had faster service than we did. 🤣
Oh, and can't forget your three-per-day bar card (unless you were hanging out with the Aussies who didn't GAF! 😄) Good times my friend.
@@AllThingsMech just where did the time go. I ran an airfield sweeper at the Died. 12 hour shifts, grab and go brown bag food supply. But I found out we can sit at the fire department and use their internet all day 😆
This may have been one of those practices without taking off as the aircraft on the ground is not the same as the one taking off in the video.
❤ this plane I was one the C17 flight ramp delivery inspectors. In fact automated the assembly processes of the fuselage. 1989 2008 my time on this craft
C-17’s specialty is STOL. It proved out when in 2012 a C-17, approached MacDill AFB in Tampa, but inadvertently landed at Knight General Aviation Airport, 5 miles premature, but on same approach path (3400ft runway!). Best way to get the C-17 out was to fly it out; so was stripped of essentials and did a Short Take Off to freedom! Great video out there of the Takeoff!
I saw that and I believe the pilot did a great job both landing and especially taking off although he did land at the wrong airport! 😮
@@chickonasportbike598 1:13
That is a huge machine to get airborne that quickly. As I understand it, they keep the hatches open to just before they roll in case something goes wrong and they have to get out. But in large vacs with people trying to hitch a ride, they are buttoned up and everybody hopes for the best.
These things have a pretty good flight record and usually they work efficiently but not rushed. However, situations may dictate otherwise, so you practice, practice, practice!
Our friend flew both to and from Iraq in one and he described take off as very smooth, and it feels like an elevator.
In a perfect world - There would be vehicles available to transport them quickly and safely to the jet. BUT this is a test situation - At a deployed location they might not have ground transport and tests like this are to find out if the crews are fit and able to function after that little run. If you looked there were at least 2 or 3 evaluators on board observing and documenting their actions. This is the way you learn and prove that you can perform under those unexpected situations. I've been in situations where we were living in tents for 14 days for a real world deployment and there were no crew transport vehicles available at your beck and call. We were fortunate to have our tents within 40 yards of our AWACS planes but that's not always the case.
THANK YOU! Wild that ppl think there will always be transport.
Thanks for the education!
14 days?! 😂🤣
Ran forward operating locations for MAC/AMC. There was always ground transport available unless ops in convenient walking distance. This nonsense never happens operationally.
Thank you, you have enlightened
God bless these men and women and my youngest son too , thank you for what you do for our country
the preparation that those soldiers have, they ran almost a kilometer and came to do things as if without anything, in my case if it were me I would have arrived on stretchers my respect
In 23 years in the USAF, as 9 as Aircraft Maintenance and 14 as aircrew, 3 combat zones, I never ran to my Aircraft.
Clearly that female doesn't do much running either
@@zachlefter7176😂
"emergency" takeoff.
LOL she got smoked in the relay!
@@zachlefter7176
I too couldn't understand the drill. Run to the aircraft to then sit around waiting for 10 minutes for the flight checklist to be completed?!
If you're being shot at, then the running is pointless if you're then a sitting duck for 10 minutes before takeoff.
But also, these types of aircraft are going to only be used where there is a runway, on well-protected bases, as transport aircraft, not combat. I don't see where an emergency scenario comes in that.
I was formerly Occupational Safety and Health Manager at the C-17 plant in Long Beach, CA overseeing wing assembly. It's now McDonnell Douglas-Boeing. Worked with a great group of folks and witnessed the roll out of at least five aircraft....
Cousin was engineering production manager at the plant before asked to help with 787 Deathliner debacle. At Long Beach,was a basically a baby sitter that checked off assemblers work; that is when they actually worked. Many lazy and ungrateful workforce there. Was kinda cool seeing all the parts/ components all over the plant waiting to be affixed. That massive gimbal tool used to assemble fuselage pieces together was neat.....and climbing inside wingbox, bottom of wing surface skin was like 3/8+... able to repel low caliber stuff. Again,not at all impressed by antics the Union Labor did.
In the early 1970s my mom would park at the tiny Long Beach airport to watch my dad return from Seattle (he worked for Boeing)..The airport was next to the old Douglas building. My neighbor worked at M-D but he refused to call it McDonnell...it was always "Douglas".
I bet you have a lot of great stories to tell. 😊
How hard is it to accept that according to the constitution, a hundred years old man is your commander!!💀
Incorrect, McDonnell Douglas went away after the merger and Boeing was the surviving name. The company is now known as simply Boeing.
What I’m more impressed by is that Camera guy. He went full tilt, keeping up with that Air Crew WHILE holding the camera steady and didn’t even skip a beat videoing the crew
Wouldn't a bicycle be faster than running?
😂😂😂😂
Maybe for the Adrenaline
Read the title again
@@vijayvijj7918 there would be several bicycles at specific points, it seems like it would be better
@@emmanuelabuchi6489 yeah it would be great, but how many can they have for that many soldiers.
Absolutely awesome camera work. Bravo.
My daughter and son in law are both in the USAF…my SIL repairs the hydraulics (landing gear, I believe) on C-17’s…he also trains others to do so, as well.
Our military is vast and there are so many jobs needed to be done, to keep it going.
I’m proud of all of our military personnel and veterans. We cannot take these people - many of which voluntarily joined, for granted.
I’m from the uk 🇬🇧 but please thank them for there service. You guys are cool AF 🇺🇸 Mericaaa
@@rhysramsden-stone4755 Will do!
They were stationed at Lakenheath (son in law) and Mildenhall (daughter) not that long ago - they miss the UK!
Take care!
This is so cool! Thank you for sharing the video and giving us an inside view of getting this thing into the air!
Used to be, you could only see something like this if you were an Airman. I freaking love modern technology!
The steadycam was awesome. The cameraman must have had an aching back afterwards. 😅
They ran all that way just to stand around waiting for the flight deck to get It moving? Geez. I miss the old days of SAC and later, the alert F-4E's at Ramstein. Our planes then would have been in the air long before hearing the aircrew talk about sweaty hands.
Its the military mate, HURRY UP AND WAIT
Feels like a school trip with no teachers around
Hello friends👋how are you doing today
It's like being in the belly of a monster. Seems scary. Kudos to the crewmembers
This is impressive,no matter what anyone says
Drudgingly Slowly impressive.
It always amazes me how something that heavy can fly. And they were not even loaded.
I'm impressed with the aproximate 20 second takeoff run!
I like to see so many ethnicities working together, it looks like Star Trek.
So? Welcome to America.
I'd settle for just being able to run like they did in the beginning 😅 Enjoy your youth. It goes by mighty fast.
It sure takes a while for all the electronics to get wound up and synchronized.
With AI now all the rage it would seem that a lot of that button pushing could be automated.
The limiting factor is the winding up of the inertial platform which involves determining Earth rotation. This won’t commence until the APU is online. The platform has to be stabilised before taxying. What can be done is to get everything running before taxying. Probably the most onerous job is to plug some useful rubbish into the FMS before taxying.
ps. Considering this aircraft’s payload capability, that was not full throttle.
I used to live in central NJ, right in between McGuire AFB, and Lakehurst Naval Air base. My house was in the flight path for these monsters as well as the C130's. The C17's would do touch and go's at Lakehurst and would be coming in so low you could practically read the pilot's names under their windows. The interesting thing about these is that if they're coming right at you, you don't really hear a lot of noise. That comes after they've passed you.
Thanks for the views of the inside; I've always wondered what they looked like.👍🏻
Love that Tail! Representing the Reserve in Dayton, Ohio. I grew up watching the 445th fly C-141, C-5 and C-17 over my house. LOVE IT!
Teamwork and training is how they get it where it needs to be!!
These are the qualities and professional attitude that makes America the greatest super power on Earth.
That is one hell of a machine !!!
The black rectangles going down both sides are pull down seats. They are on most cargo planes including the C-130. If they were being fired at in a combat zone, as soon as the engines were ready they would leave.
You’re a tactical genius!
It's fascinating how people have different running styles.
WILD to think that those little red flags can make a plane crash if not taken off (has been the cause before)
Can you explain a bit more about what those flags are for and why they can make the plane crash?
@@3idev1 They make sure nothing gets in or around their measuring instruments nozzles or openings. Things like wasps and bugs can nest in them and mess up sensors. Or sometimes people forget to take them off and mess up the computers on the aircraft because theres no reading on airspeed or something important because that flag is covering the sensor…all kinds of wild stuff related to those little flags
@@3idev1covers for pitot tubes and airspeed sensors etc
Thank you!@@stankysixinch
Guess there’s a reason they have “Remove Before Flight” written in them 🤔
Somebody buy these guys a golf cart.
I've never seen the inside of one these planes and the soldiers executed the urgency excellently. I do know that preflight checks are the most important because you don't want any surprises while in the air. God Bless our military and thank you for all you do.
Yesss!! That's what they do!! Outstanding!!! Teamwork.., coordination... communication... choreography!!! Brilliant!! Finest Men and Women!
Much respect! 🇺🇸 Thank you for your service!
Travis AFB is 23 miles dead west of my house. The C-17 and C-10 are amazing to watch overhead as they're coming or going. Camara angle in the background shows trees, those trees actually several miles west of the base.
The base flight line as been really short of birds for a few weeks at a time. Then like geese they all pretty much come in a loose line. As of yesterday about half are at the base. I drive by the southern fence line on Hy12 a few times a week.
in the early 70's, every time a C-5 took off with the radar on, garage doors would open
@@igortretsnomThis is what I was also told.
This plane soo nice I wanna have it in my garage ❤
Easier to put your garage in the plane.
C-17 is HUGE! I watched a C-130 up close when I was a kid. My father was in the Air-Force! That C-130 is LOUD!
*Emergency take off in 12 minutes... wow.*
that is great! The missile will get here in 9. We are surrounded with missile and our mindset is the missile flying from Russia.
Crew is driving a vehicle the size of a very large house! And it's going to fly! The 21st century is awesome!
You could fit a small house inside this aircraft!
The Antonov AN-124, currently the largest military aircraft in the world, was built in 1984, not the 21st century. It's big brother, the AN-225, was destroyed this year in Ukraine. It took its maiden flight in December, 1988.
Rarely, an AN-124 lands at Oakland. In August, 2020, there were two on the field at the same time! What a thrill to see those monsters taxi and take off! @@johnrains8409
What does size have to do with it. Rocks are small and can't fly.
Have you ever seen a B-36? 20 th century mammoth, makes that pos look like a moth!
I work at Douglas Aircraft Company ( DAC ) on the C-17 from T1 Dura, T2 Static , P1 thru P 23 if my memory is correct. Sorry I had a TBI ( Traumatic Brain Injury).. memories come and go. The whole time I work on the wing assembly from wing skin panels ,wing box where we assembled the wing,wing repair mechanic and finally wing half join where the two halves were joined to form the wing. I was a K2J mechanic referred to as a aircraft structure and assembly mechanic. When the C-17 had it's first flight I was there . I returned to watch the final aircraft depart. If my memory is correct it was delivered to the Kuwait airforce. When the .U.S. Air Force was first certifying the C-17 myself and a fellow mechanic drove out to Dagget Air Field near Barstow , California to watch the testing. All the air force personal had high praise for the C-17. If I remember right it can take off in approximately 1,380 feet and land in under 800 feet in a emergency situation. The were testing it in some insane situations. Watching it come in for a war time landing to avoid enemy gun fire was unbelievable. That plane seemed to basically decent at no angle when landing. It scared the 💩💩💩💩💩 out of myself and my fellow mechanic. It was the last day of testing so one of the crews offered a ride except we would have had to find our own way back to California. They were headed to Charleston AFB South Carolina. Dang nabbit should have done it. Never would have had another chance. Heard later that DAC offered rides to a few people a couple of years later. Was long been laid off by then Oh my name on my badge was the C-17 Golddigger. Great Memories.
All of these impressive Airmen make me proud to be a USAF veteran.....well done crew!
22 years ago when I was stationed at Travis it was almost exclusively C5 Galaxies
... and 62 years ago, when I was at Travis (CA) and Charleston (SC), it was C-124 Globemasters.( Version 1 )
and 32 years ago it was C-5s and c-141s@@MomolosZtips
Man ,
I would not be running like that !
I get there when I get there !
Yeah! Was medivac in C17 while combat injuries in Iraq back in 2006. They ended up dropping me off at MCAS Miramar as I was the only Marine!
CAMERAMAN DEU UM SHOW PARABÉNS GUERREIRO (LITERALMENTE)
Part of the reason why I joined Coast Guard. I dont like running and rushing like that, and planes are not my thing. I love the ocean, relaxing at sea, swimming, sun bathing, port-calls🤤🤤, etc. Now, Im happily retired and doing my own thang... Although, GREAT JOB to these airman.
Doesn't like military service?
What is also amazing is that this starts off at Travis AFB in California (60 AW) yet it takes off from Wright Patterson AFB (445 ARW). In the 40 plus years I have been working on and around on C-5, C-141, & C-17, I have never launched or seen a launch where the crew completed their preflight in 11 minutes.
We were pretty quick as flt engineer when at Clark afb cause it was hot and humidity to get apu fired up and get some ac going
Seeing an air crew run like that; they either heard there was a higher per diem rate somewhere else or that their Hilton points were expiring.
Not exactly a fighter scramble. This is a beast of a plane. Gently now. Not sure why this has to scramble in the first place.
Sometimes attack is imminent and you must get out of Dodge in a hurry!
@@DJ-mz7td Attack from where? ...Over the hill? ...Through the woods? ...Grandmothers house? Simply put not likely.
@@dustoff499 Forget the Cold War already. Militaries prepare for "not likely." Natural disasters, such as tornadoes, these are national assets.
It’s called an “emergency”. What a concept!
Why unlikely? Are you clairvoyant? Bastard!
If I would of ran that far, my ears would of been ringing and my head pounding.
During the Cold War, Britain’s RAF kept Avro Vulcan nuclear bombers on a round-the-clock standby, The on-call crews lived in caravans alongside the runway and could takeoff in 4 minutes (Kym in Darwin Australia - where 2 500 US Marines are on their annual 6-month deployment)
Yes the Brits had it worse than the Americans. There was very little warning to incoming Soviet missiles and bombers. US had around 30 minutes, UK had as little as 4-5 minutes.
Heck of a long run on hot asphalt. Stay well and vigilant guys.💯🇺🇸😎🌪🌎
My niece has just been made captain in the RAAF and she pilots one of those. She’s a good egg…❤
Amazing how fast they get in the air! Even empty like this, they're still heavy.
Did you notice that the aircraft on the ground was not the same as the one that they showed taking off? The C17 on the ground was from Travis AFB, CA and the one taking off was from Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Who knows what the load was the Wright-Patt C17.
11 minutes to takeoff on one of the worlds largest aircraft. Not sure what the standard is for safe emergency takeoff but this looks impressive.
Potugues
So it all takes place at Travis AFB, until the exterior shots of taxi and takeoff. Different plane, different squadron, different AFB.
Looks like they take off at WPAFB, Ohio
@@lorenringo5277this is Guam. Recorded during Ex Mobility Guardian 5/6 weeks ago. My A400 is the closest one parked on the other flight line…
But yeah the exterior shots after they start taxiing is definitely Wright Patt. Great airfield and a great night out in Dayton!
The first shots are not at Travis, but do feature a Travis C-17. Not sure of the location though, just not Travis.
One of the bases is Charleston but not where they started at.
Nice work! Seems like they would have raised the landing gear after takeoff. There are situations where you might elect to leave the gear down for a brief time such as departing a runway contaminated runway, but this did not seem like the case.
And to think thats just one of all our military scenarios, and that we literally have millions working together just as professionally. Other countries do parades, we really do schitt!
Thankfully for crews and pilots and this bird. Last tour overseas this flew me home one last time before I ended my service. Such a great asset the team and the plane.
Awesome air force! Amazing camera work!!
That's my plane. I made hundreds of the jet tail cones, and combustion chambers. That's the shiny part where the noise comes out. But at over 11 minutes from alert to lift off the nukes would of caught them on the ground if they were sub launched.
Long run, need motorized transport to get to the plane faster if you’re complaining about 11 minutes
@@bradwilson525 That was only 35 seconds of it. 11 minutes was being generous. It was mostly poor organization of procedures. Many actions repeated motion, and wasted time using too few personnel while others did nothing.. The wheel chocks could have been removed by all non critical crew when they first ran up. Pitot cover removal could be much more efficient. Look how commercial aviation does it. I could mention many more but what would be the point? You'd just whine about that too. Rah rah the troops. They do nothing wrong. Right?
For a EMERGENCY TAKEOFF at 4 minutes into this I would have expected a EMERGENCY TAKE OFF to be faster
Doesn't the Air Force have a weight control program?
Easy to see that short sprint took all the fat lady's lunch by the time she made it to the stairs
Ssshh, you are not supposed to say the quiet part out loud.
well recruitment is down the past couple years....
They are not over weight. They are robust.
They do not need weight control. They need body awareness.
Lol
That crew is awesome! Very proud and appreciative of them
Shame the woman couldn't keep up!
The female holds the whole thing back because she is not as fast as the 4 other men. Stunning and brave can do anything men can!!
A society built primarily on merit, trust, transparency, teamwork, respect, compassion, and shared common goals can defeat any evil.
Very interesting video every crew member has a certain job. Not to much talking, very smooth operation. 😄
Thank you for all that you do for our country 🇺🇲!!!
