- A C-17 Globemaster III of 99 Squadron based at RAF Brize Norton scared the life out of me. Things seemed normal until it started to do what C-17s do, manoeuvre with pure agility and looking like a wing wave but started crabbing. In fact this wasn't a landing in the end, but a "touch & go" but whatever the reasons, it was a moment in my life for the first time to make the choice to put the camera down and run!
The C-17 Globemaster III (Globemaster C-17) is a longrange, heavy-lift strategic transport aircraft that can operate close to a potential area of operations for combat, peacekeeping or humanitarian missions worldwide.
C-17 is capable of rapid, strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases anywhere in the world. The Globemaster’s load-bearing rear ramp and digitally controlled loading systems, combined with the skills of its crews and ground handlers, enable large, complex items of equipment, including Chinook helicopters, military vehicles and other heavy items of specialist kit to be loaded.
It can transport 100,000lb (45,360kg) of freight more than 4,500nm (8,334km) while flying at altitudes above 35,000ft. The aircraft’s design enables high-angle, steep approaches at relatively slow speeds, allowing it to operate into small, austere airfields and onto runways as short as 3,500ft long and just 90ft wide.

Never known Nikos be stunned into silence lol. it was so funny. I am certain it was a wing wave and deliberately pointed towards you for a few seconds, because if conditions were a little dodgy, they would have landed and not risk another cross wind.
Oiii oiii 🤙🏼 this is a rare movement when we thought Nikos was going to make a run for it. And yes, he was silent, he suffered some TedShock
Never heard of a pilot doing a wing wave while landing. Especially in windy conditions.
@@lenn55 They do at Air shows
wind shear
Ok normally I don't clog up the chat but your "umm..." had me laughing out loud. I love your work and dedication.
lol thank you
At first I thought it was a wing wave exercise, then I thought the pilot was crabbing it in due to high winds. I wasn't expecting the touch 'n go action. Great video. First time Nikos has been rendered silent 🤣
lol, first time he’s been silenced lol
Looked like training or pilot cert flight. Slip maneuver is how you decrease altitude to continue glide slope. Touch-n-go for landing then immediate T.O. power for go around. Nice vid.
Thank you
We have C-17 Globemasters right up the street from us in West Virginia, they touch and go all the time and fly right over my house. We go to the cafe at the airport and watch them at least once a week. Fantastic machines. Got to see a C-130 Hercules parked right next to a C-17, it looked like a little Cessna in comparison. Would love to see a C5-Galaxy, C-17 Globemaster, and a C-130 Hercules all lined up together to see the size differences.
I have seen that at a USAF depot. It was impressive.
Where in WVA?
@@clayswenson905 Eastern West Virginia airport. Near Martinsburg in the panhandle. They got an Air Force wing there with eight C17 Globemasters.
Thanks for the reply.
Is that a USAF reserve wing? I thought C17s were only active duty units. I recently saw several at a USArmy drop zone near Ft Bragg NC.
Very impressive
@@clayswenson905 I believe it is a reserve wing, it is a shared public airport, with the USAF hangars on one side and the Airport offices, hangars and restaurant on the other. The wife and I go to the restaurant at least once a week and usually get to see some activity out there. These C17s are amazingly quiet for their size.
Wowzeroonie moment! This has got to be a front runner for "Landing of the year" 😁. Inclined to say wing wave for Ted but maybe practising for Strictly Come Landings, 😆. Brill.
Oiii oiii Margo thank you so much. We thought Nikos was going to make a run for it lol
Thought the pilot handled the situation well, touched down to insert whatever and back up again like a pro!
Must admit tho, it did look a bit scary at first and i love the fact filled commentary from Nikos "um... uuuumm" as part of his body was going from Millennium Dome to pound coin very quickly!!!
Well done for standing your ground 😬
This was by the looks of it, an offset landing practice with last minute correction. I remember the C130's doing this at RAF Lyneham in the 80's ??
You are correct
Cool thank you, Nikos nearly put the camera down and legged it. lol
Poor Nikos! Didn't even manage a ! I have to admit, after shouting at my telly for you to duck, I went a bit quiet too😂 Thanks for not running
Oiii oiii Ellesee, yep, Nikos was silenced lol.
Did anyone else notice the huge rudder deflection? Must have really kicked the thing round in the air. Great!
Oohh yeah 🤙🏼Thank you
wowsers that was intense!! 😮Now I see why Reggie likes to keep it safe on the ground der now!
Oiii oiii Eric thanks man lol
I'm going to agree, definitely a wing wave for Ted
Oiii oiii Harley 🤙🏼
ermm..... ERMMMM 🤣Excellent squicky bum time. great work Nikos
Lol thanks James
Naaaa them C-17 are used to doing extream stuff.. that's Nothin! i watch almost daily of C-17 out of March ARB doing Combat landing and just turn and diving into the runway and stopping fast... almost like they are going to crash but NAaaaaa
The “almost like they are going to crash” part is what Nikos had seen for the first time. The C-17 was crabbing and aiming at him. First time he has been silenced and nearly put the camera down and made a run for it lol
You know its windy when the big girl dances.
Good call Nikos to remain in situ and brave too, I would have done the same cos I'm mad as!. The shot of the championship contender right there. The moodyness of the sky with lights ablaze add to the shot, p.s through the tree shot is worth it alone. That C17 😆 can move! Personally I think it may have been a new pilot who had got the approach a little wrong, as it was over corrected then corrected again. There again he could of had some other people along for the ride and it could of just been a " I'll give them a ride to remember moment" lol 😅😂 Either way made for great viewing. A fabulously well filmed event, a touch and go that was off.. Pilot did well. Of course they did, it's the RAF silly...
A great heavyweight introduction. Nikos sounded properly shocked and unsure there. I feel ya! 😅😂❤
C17 Globemaster 😎👍
lol we think Nikos stood there still because he suffered TedShock and was scared stiff. Lol
@tonyf880 lol, I thought I'd edited as it happens but obviously not. Good spot. I'm a rookie ish let me off. C17 has no props, the A400 has contra turning props! Remember D.W. sorry for the error 😅 😬 Whoopse!
I used to live in a foothill valley at 4500' and I watched the C-17's ridge running down the valley at about 6000' the elevation of the ridge tops. They were low and not all that slow. I'm guessing it was a regular route for training low altitude approaches across mountain ranges because they did it often. Possibly based at the Travis Air Mobility Command Base near Fairfield, CA. Cal Fire also used that little valley to practice water drops on a large cul-de-sac parking area.
I love this channel😲👍 you really never know what ya gonna get😄 Brilliant! I thought you had legged it at one point😆 you were stunned into silence, wow that WAS close. So glad you captured that on camera , imagine trying to tell that to someone,😆 👍 awesome! Your silence said it all. Thankyou for sharing.♥️
Oiii oiii Julie, first time Nikos was silenced and yes he very nearly put the camera down and legged it lol 😂
What ever it was great skills from the pilot. Nikos always expect the unexpected
Oiii Oii Les thank you
This was so awesome! Nicos couldn't even say "Look at THIS!"
Oii oiii man 🤙🏼 no, he was finally silenced lol with no
After you've seen one of these up close you from then can't see it as anything but the Eagle of Aircraft! Just magnificent.
Definitely a wing wave for you & Ted.👍
Oiii oiii thanks Mark
Omg what a landing ,then a touch and go,looked a bit scary😮 Fab video though,never seen that before xx
Oiii oiii Rachael thank you very much
'Tis nothing but a breeze and he saw you and had some fun!!!
Definitely a wing wave to Mr Ted and Nicos and Claire Bear ..❤
Oii oiii thank you
He greased it like butter! Everything prior (and well before landing) was for show… 😂
Oii Oii Mike
Saw one of these fly over my car in I-270 at Wright Pat air base. It was at about 500 feet. Unbelievable how loud. That was going roared
OOOOOOOOOeeeeer ! the beginning looks like she is flying in slo-mo !
Oiii oiii Fred Steve Geoff and all the bears. Ooohhh yeah
Wowsers! I nearly browned my trousers! Great camerawork and good work on holding the line Nikos!
Well fairplay, it was great camerawork holding position and not running for cover.
Oii oiii thanks so much
He nearly did. He suffered TedShock
Miss seeing those. Was one of the Aircraft Dispatchers for MDC at Long Beach California and dispatched several of those on Flight Test and Production Flights. On deliveries they used to do fly-bys couple of 200 feet above the runway.. Maybe I dispached that one.
They are amazing aircraft
By the looks of your flag in the beginning, there was a fairly strong cross wind and the pilot was crabbing to keep the plane lined up with the center of the runway. A very smooth and controlled landing was the result of a skilled pilot.
It was a little breezy that day
@@TedConingsby The B-52's landing gear rotates to stay lined up with the runway when the plane is crabbing. Something we don't see very much today for 60+ year old technology.
That looks like an NDB approach with the pilot wearing foggles, so they get to look up at the decision point of 400' and land or not land. Ive seen quite a few NDB approachs look very ropey.
Looked like me trying to line up the 747 in MSFS 😆
Great Video 👍👍👍
Thank you Robin ooohh yeah
That C-17 had only eyes foe you.... Twitchy moment but you stuck it out....Nice 1 Nikos...brave.. 😂😂
😂😂😂ooohh yeah poor Nikos
'' ... ermmm...'' lolll
Hehe 😂😂
They fly over my house and neighborhood a few times a week. I can ride my bike to an area where I can watch them do that very thing near the airstrip. They practice touch and go, but sometimes they're going somewhere else. Some days, they're all parked near the hangars, and sometimes they're all gone.
Oii Oii Jeff that’s awesome to be just a bike ride away
Scariest non landing surely. Don't worry Nikos you have God on your side mate 😊
What’s that coming over the hill, a Globemaster, a Globemaster🤣 I suspect the pilot was trying to avoid a bird strike? Couldn’t see anything in the shot but he may have been looking further ahead perhaps 🤷♂️ Kept your cool there though Nikos
lol thanks Avro
Loved the 2 urms 😂 Ted and Nicos getting a giant wing wave maybe not but like to think so 😂
Oiii oiii Nikos silenced for once
That was freaky. Didn't know what to expect.
Oiii oiii Fredi 🤙🏼
Silence and a few erms lol 😆
😂😂😂Oii oiii Nick
He was channelling his inner Harrison Ford, but decided at the last moment to land on the runway rather than the taxiway.
Best pilots in the world! 🇺🇸
Practice maneuver for dropping off a vehicle without stopping on an enemy runway.
Was meant to be used as part of "Operation Certain Death" in the Falklands, but that was never given finally approval (even if "da boys" did train for it).
It did look like wind sheer, but with having some of the best pilots on the planet operating these monsters…. Could have been anything.
Very nice catch👍
Thank you
Une sacrée belle observation 🙂👍
He was doing a wing wave to ya
A wing wave to Teddy…no doubt about it!😄😄
Ooohh yeah
Living fairly close to Brize the RAF love throwing these and A400 about. You would not want to be a passenger but they know what they are doing.
Ooohhh yeah
That was beautiful to see. Great vibe 🙌😃
Thank you very much
Awesome, Nikos & Ted. It almost looked motionless at one point. Are you using star filter
Thank you
Great video footage. It doesn't get any better than that!!!
Oiii oiii Declan thank you
I’ve ridden in a C-130. Boy was it load!
Almost had a real life north by northwest moment there !😂
Nice Touch & go.
I know you carry like extra socks, shoes, shirt in the van, but perhaps it's time to bring a little extra other spare clothing! 😵💫 I call it a wingwave and don't care what the PIC thought it was :)
😂😂😂
Beautiful aircraft my favourite aircraft reminds me of Thunderbird 2 😅
It’s a beauty of aircraft
Ted i remember seeing a RAF Vulcan bomber doing this at RAF Valley on Anglesey when on holiday in the 1960s it was like an Earthquake
beautiful
The beast of the sky's.
Thanks Ted and Co great shots, but pilots showing loads of skill throwing that thing around, don't forget to pack a spare pair of pants next time!!!
😂😂😂thanks Roy
Brilliant catch and great tracking!!!
Thanks so much
Touch and go
Simple.....the pilot sneezed!
Pretty sure that wasn't a wing wave! I think that would be very unlikely and potentially dangerous on a final to land at that altitude. The crew would be relatively busy at that point and certainly focussed on completeing a landing, not worrying about you. More likely an odd gust of turbulant air, or a late reposition to try and recapture the correct profile. (although that looked a bit too aggressive to have deliberately manoeuvred in that way at that speed and height). My money is on turbulence. It looked like a training flight anyway, with the touch and go. Nice spot though!!
Brilliant 👌
That pain is able to do things others can't
I think it was practice slips or crabs or better yet some tactical under fire maneuves training.
He was just playing around!
That looked awesome Ted
Thank you
@@TedConingsby you are awesome my friend
@@BRUNO1974 thank you
looked like a technic called slide slipping to loose height quickly... a glider technic, I was taught it on my PPL ....I was always too high on my engine failure exercise
😅😅😅 Just putting on a big C-17 wing wave for you😎
Oiii oiii Damien thank you
I still can't stop laughing about.
😂😂😂
nothing out of the ordinary there, you were nowhere near it and in zero danger from anything.
it was a touch and go training flight, if it wasn’t an unintentional adjustment it was a crosswind hitting it requiring adjustments yet still being a solid landing and takeoff
For Nikos, it was. Of all the approaches and landings he’s seen, this for him stood there as you could here, silenced him for a change lol 😂
The pilot was side slipping to lose height!
This was the end of an SRA or PAR approach.
It often ends with a slight runway misalignment, needing correction at a low level.
R
Right On m8
Defo not a planned touch and go as spoilers were activated, most likely a training flight that landed too far down the runway to safely bring to a stop hence the T & G.
Is there a app that I can get radar for RAF & American pls ????
Flight radar?
Shame Ted's not going to visit a few of his relatives at other locations further North for a picnic!
Stall practice?
Yes, Nikos stalled alright
It looks like it going fall out of the sky.
Offset Landing if you do not have down alingment Radar and less sight. Much easier with the slow speed of a Hercules😊
It was either a wing wave or the pilot suddenly realised they were lining up the taxi way and not the runway!
lol ooohhh yeah
A C-17 coming back from a long trip lined up and landed at a general aviation field on Davis Island. The nose wheel was inches from the grass when he got it stopped. They had to remove everything they could and call in their ace pilot to fly it out.
th-cam.com/video/wi58Ds3Krgw/w-d-xo.html
That was definitely a wing wave
Oiii oiii Julieann 🤙🏼
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you
I think I’d say something different to “erm erm” more like LEG IT!!!! 😀 wow
😂😂😂
Doing a touch and Go
Yes it sure did
No biggie. If you have ever been in the military we do all kinds of stuff. Called practice to be ready
oy oy savaloy
Intentional slip?
Pretty impressive piloting skills from the C-17A Globemaster III as it is fighting with crosswind perhaps 🫡😮😎
Oii oiii
@@TedConingsby most welcome and cheers ! 😎🫡
Erm!! Run..
Lol
A last-minute correction followed by an aborted landing! I don't think you could have "legged" it quickly enough. Must have been turbulent weather, not to mention a huge bird to land.
Was awesome and yes, legging it had past the point of no return so Nikos just braved it lol 😂
Just a little adjustment... ;)
Nikos...silent? Not so much ahh yer but more ..errr help !
😂😂😂
I think they let the stewardess land that one. lol
Ah yes circuits and bump's.......
er..........😬that looked a bit hairy!!!
Indeed
