Very powerful flight demo better than standing behind other planes that are in your way when you are taking pictures when they taxing landing but you can take when they are taking off and flyby and display bit annoyed with the wind blowing but you hear the engines nice tight turns
Dude i work next to the Boeing C17 assembly building in long beach ca and it is insane when u see them take off new from the factory! The entire airport is at a freeze stand by just to make that first pass by just in case it needs to crash land in the airport!
The C-17 is an excellent plane. I think it's a bit more reliable than it's bigger brother the C-5. I didn't realize how nimble it was for such a big plane, though.
i had no idea it was so maneuverable. awesome!!!
disappointed this one won't be here this year...
Fantastic video!! This plane is a beauty!

I love the sound of the PW2000 engines it all is very familiar since I live by wright Patterson AFB and see C-17s all the time great aircraft.
10 second landing roll! And those huge spoilers for banking hard - nice. Oh and 4 757 engines.

what an incredibly agile plane for its size... impressive.
that's great thats all i can say
wow. SUPER agile. i'm impressed!
MONSTER!! :-D
Wow shortfield takeoff and landing!
it's high engine power and unrestricted controls allow it to be quite agile.
Sounds like a nice diesel engine coming from a truck :D
@AV8R4HM yep - this ain't no B52. They're designed for getting in and out of tough spots. And aerobatics, as it turns out :-)
WOW IT STOPPED IN LIKE 30 Metres! SO agile!
@Onlooker117 indeed ;D there's a central one, not visible.
@ProducionesLEGO they can operate out of a dirt strip that 3,000 ft long.
great video man great XD
@djinstructor That is an inaccurate ststement. The airplane was designed to be flown like this.
@DrPilotRedC or so I've heard from airshow announcers.
It is true!
sweet
@hogey74 you do know that there's 5 engines, right? :D
nice :)
McDonell Douglas :)
they make these planes in long beach, which in a c-17is a short flight
Hahaha, Id love to see the 225 or 124 maneuver like this. Not gonna happen.
the navy had a fighter called a whale
