My dad met my mum (welsh) while based in Manchester ... and brought her back to Canada. She’s never looked back. So glad I was born in Canada. But I’m so proud to be British too. I love Britain. So much history & fascinating places with stories packed on those little islands.
The C17 came after my time in the Canadian Forces. I spent way too many hours in the back off a CC-130 Hercules but the CC-150 Polaris (Air Bus A 310) was very comfortable for trips overseas. During one posting to CFB Trenton I was able to tour Canada's "Air Force One" and even sit in the PM's chair.
AHHH, the pride of the RCAF's 429 Squadron .......Stationed at CFB Trenton , Ontario along with her 4 other "sisters"...the RCAF use the CC 117's for international ops as well as resup . refuel missions to the Canadian Military installations in Canada's far North. They have also responded to Natural Disasters, air lifting Canada's DART team ( Disaster Assistance Response Team), Medical supplies etc. to Nepal after the Earthquakes, Jamaica after Hurricane Dean and other disasters.......They also participated in Strategic Airlift of French troops and equipment into Mali and the area in Africa........IF anyone wanted to know....... ;)
Malone Mantooth as you can see up here we have many liberal dicks being superior once again. After all this is what America produces fine aircraft like this . In the meantime we still cry about the Avro Arrow from the fifties
I work near CFB Trenton where some of these are based, with the main flightpath to and from the base right over top of us at pretty low altitude, and it never ceases to amaze me seeing them in flight. Especially at take-off and low speeds. I keep expecting it to just drop out of the sky. They had to build new hangers for them because the ones for the Herc's were way too small.
staying at an altitude equal to or less than the wingspan helps with ground effect, allows the aircraft to gain speed before they pulled up towards the end
What a monster. The scale of this beast is impressive on video but in person you must have had an incredible experience... Thanks for the upload!!! That's thanks eh, in Canadian...
Loved it. Gorgeous aircraft. Nice clear video. Lovely early rotate and adjusted low climb-out. And, me being Canadian, there was a extra lump in my throat. Thank you for sharing.
Nicely shot video. About ten years ago, I had the pleasure of seeing a US Air Force C17 do a slow, low pass and bank over Althouse College, which is one of the affiliated colleges of The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada. The plane was involved in a local air show and was on the outbound leg of its demonstration run. In any case, it was amazing and fun to see how the sheer size of the aircraft belied its ability to be flown very gracefully. I'll bet the ride on a C17 is really pleasant.
@Steve Struthers I remember about 25 years ago when the Antonov flew into London international airport to load a freight engine from GM Diesel that was being transported to Scotland. It was even more massive than the C117 and made the 200,000 lb engine look like a dinky toy.
HOLLY GRAP DUDE, now that's how U drive ur heavy lift Canadian military aircraft !!! He drove this like a sports car, DUDE this driver is PRO all the way through VERY VERY impressive, way to go, Cowboy, Brilliant & Cheers
@@ManchesterAviation we have been watching a400m atlases and c17's doing touch and goes at the airport. I see them on flightradar24 as well coming from brize Norton.
The C-5 Galaxy routinely carries 73 troops and 36 standard 463L pallets. The aircraft is able to carry two M1 Abrams main battle tanks, or one Abrams tank plus two M2/M3 Bradley fighting vehicles, or six AH-64 Apache/Apache Longbow attack helicopters. Also, the C-5 is able to carry as many as 15 HMMWV (humvees).
Used to live near Trenton, where 8th Air Wing that flies them located. Watched them fly almost daily. Especially fun to watch is when this huge aircraft just touch and go on spare airfield off HWY 62 in the PE Country.
I didn't realize that the tail on a C17 was so friggin' tall. I searched it and it has to do with what's called a "super stall". When the nose tips up too far, the wings will actually block the air flow from the tail elevator, resulting in a stall that is very difficult to recover from, if it can be recovered at all. By raising the elevators that high, there will be airflow passing over them no matter how nose up it is. Now I know.
SixStringLove Guy : Yes superstall -In flight & esp. during takeoff the extra lift generated by the tail can be compromised by the horizontal wind wash of the larger wing b4 it, at the right pitch & bring down the plane. I'm certain this was one of the key problems w the F-104 'widowmaker', the "lift" part of the equation being exaggerated by its disproportionally tiny wings (designed that way to reduce drag, increasing speed to evade missiles & outperform their cold war opponents). The starfighter of course had the high tail on a short vertical rudder & a small overall wing area. Also of interesting note, I was reading about the developement of the Sweedish "Viggen", a reliable & versitile early 70's single engine multiroller, w the first full production of a canard on a fighter. As we know they had to change the larger rear wing to accomidate more lift in its functioning role, giving it its classic unmistakable outward double delta shape, but the canards were origonally put in line w the rear wings, proving too close vertically for wing loaded takeoffs + aggressive manuvers, & subsequently moved up to a safer position above the intakes. You'll notice now all canards are strategically placed out of the horizontal plane of the main lifting wing, either by differing elevation or perpendicular pitch & a safe distance from the intakes if fore of them, the one exception being the high tech looking new Russian Su-57? "Raptorski" with its L.E.R.X. leading edge surfaces, ..but guess what, they've had problems with them from the get-go, leading to uninitiated flameouts in the engines as a result, this will inevitably lead to a warning light w tighter manuvering restrictions, or a redesign involving a limit & perhaps a top vent redirect like the Mig-29's 'blended wing' aerodynamic solution for intake turbulence.
Great video, beautifully shot and focussed. Have to say, if that was any other C-17 operator, I doubt the 'Loadie' would have taken the opportunity for such good PR !! - good on 'im. Best from a former Manchester 'spotter' (now in NZ).
Binaashkaa Anishinaabe If you are one of those morons who believe what they hear about Trudeau you are severely mistaken. The Liberals and Canadians in general are merely the most polite and civil evolution of the imperial British Empire, they do things politely but they are not nearly as well to do about things when you really get to know them.

was about to cut the grass one day when all of a sudden there was the sound of jet engines screaming i look up and it was one of these bad boys , hell might of even been this very one who knows? low as hell , gets to the end of town about a km away which is the st lawrence river does a hard u turn and goes back to where it came from, impressive as hell!!! no idea what it was all about, but very cool
We may have a small armed forces but they’re well trained and we Canadians are darn proud of em!
So you should be!
Amen brother
Carl Clarke this “we” Canadian is very proud of our contribution to world peace
Carl Clarke good catch.
You should be proud. So are we here in America we were able to produce such technological marvels like C17.
We love our RCAF CC-177's...Amazing aircraft. Wish we had more of them...
That was brilliant. Hats off to our Canadian allies and friends. What a plane!
I can't believe how quickly it leapt into the air. Amazing.
Using JATOS maybe ?
Thank's to American Technology...
Thanks for posting and thanks for all the kind comments from our cousins in the UK and the US. I am proud to call you my friends.
Amazing! So nice of the Canadians to do the taxi past with the guy waving from the top of the aircraft & then taking off to do the low fly past!

Canadian pride, respected worldwide!
Absolutely magnificent takeoff of the C-17A Globmaster and nice to see an airman waving too from the Royal Canadian Air Force 🤩👍
That's an insanely short take off run for such a huge and massive aircraft - very impressive!
Thanks for watching!
That’s simply because Canada 🇨🇦 is awesome, awesome. Good work, guys !

Have 13 of them across the street from where I live ,and it is great to see and hear the sound of freedom.
Beautiful TextBook shortfield technique. Our airforce is small, but they know what they're doing. Small but mighty.
I have worked with Canadian Army and Navy , good warriors brave and fearless ! No complaints here!!
A proudly feeling must be to pilot this amazing jetplane

Rock steady filming and beautifully smooth quality of a gorgeous aircraft in perfect conditions. Well done.
Thanks a lot :-)
I was literally at school and I saw this thing flying overhead the next year, I was at pizza hut and an RAF version came over.
He went a long way through that sheep pasture before finding a runway.
That's gotta be a Newfie sticking out the top.
lol
actually an uneven airfield thus seeing over the rise requires someone above the ac to be safe
Absolutely stunning! What a big capture! Amazing rotate as well, ending with a short low pass and climb out! AWESOME!!!
Thank you very much! The low pass was a nice touch!
I think that low pass right after takeoff was for the benefit of those that came out to see her off. Great job cameraman, great job pilot!
I think it was! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Of course we’re Canadians we aim to please.
In Russian, "a plane" is "he" :))). "Low pass" is not for demonstration but for rising the velosity)) Best wishes from Russia!
staying at an altitude equal to or less than the wingspan helps with ground effect, allows the aircraft to gain speed before they pulled up towards the end
Please, explain me, what "before they pulled up towards the end
" means?

Makes me proud to be Canadian!! The Armed Forces have always had my complete and absolute respect!

It's an impressive aircraft :D
Stunning video of this great aircraft! Huge like from your efforts!!
Thank you very much!
I love seeing the crew-member, ducking outside for a cheeky cigarette, before take-off ;)
Wow. That was well worth that wait. Loved the low pass before a steep climb out. Brilliant video mate.
Thank you! It was worth it in the end :-)
Superb camerawork thanks for the effort that was absolutely top quality
Thank you very much!
MAKES ME PROUD TO WATCH THIS VIDEO AND READ THE COMMENTS BELOW BECAUSE I WORKED BUILT THESE ENGINES FOR 30 YEARS AND PROUD OF THEM.
There's just something about the C17 that makes it more than just another aircraft.
It's a very nice plane!
Big Vim, you may want to check out the ' Antonov 225 ' and turnup the sound . .
That C-17 jumped right off the ground, even with a full load of maple syrup on board!
I'm amazed at the take-off roll, time was 13-15 seconds, must be extremely light.
It only had a very short flight, so that's likely!
beautiful aircraft that one
Truly impressive craft.
The guy on top waving is AWESOME! great job flight crew. Good catch!
He is! Thanks for watching :-)
So cool that this one guy was waving nearly the whole time from the top of this c17, stunning video mate!
That was nice to see after the delay Thanks for watching :-)

It’s an impressive machine and great to fly, apparently!
Seriously, it is simply awesome.
Thank you Steven Harper.

I like how it required less of the runway than some of the 737s do
Very nice tactical takeoff!

I think you mean 8 Wing CFB Trenton. I've lived here the last 20+ years of my life.
It have been a while now, 8th or 8 is a semantics. You live there, you drive often by it.
Tim Rutkevich I wasn't correcting because of 8th vs 8. I was correcting you because you called it Trent. The name is Trenton.

Nice info dude
A crash to trident G-ARPI in U.K. in 1970s. The t-tail deep stall warning sounded and the crew did not take avoiding measures.
