This C-17 landed at the small commuter airport (TPF - Peter O'Knight airport) just south of downtown on Davis Islands, in Tampa instead of Mac Dill AFB.
Take a look at the two airports on on Google maps.The runways are lined up closely enough that this is not the first time that a military "heavy", has set up for final approach from the east before an "oh shoot" moment when they realized that there are no private homes along the runway at MacDill AFB, (who's runway is long enough to be designated an alternative for the space shuttle).
When I was shooting news in Tampa, I shot the departure of a Brazilian C-130 who did the same thing.
This ought to be a great story for this pilot's, great, great, grand children!
Here is the link to the landing video shot by Ryan, one of the pilots trapped at the airport all day till this take off:

Also, they backed the tail of the C17 over the water in the channel before takeoff!

+Im a Fox Hahahahaha!!! you are right bro !! Hahahaha !! LOL !!
+Im a Fox LOL awesome comment!!
It had a fuck to give in 1990, but it flew away in 1991.
+Angry Whale lmao LOL
+Im a Fox They didn't land at the wrong air field....They were just sick and tired of all the people hating on the plane saying it couldn't take off in 3500 so they did it just to prove they could.
I can just imagine the other C17 crew doing the flyby,.. sneering and giggling at these guys!
Lmao
You know who bought the beer that night.
C-17 Flight #2: Look at those jamones down there. Hey Flight Lead, smile and say cheese for the Camera. See you at the base losers.
C-17 Flight Lead: -.- .....
I thought they were going to land to join the first one.
Doubtful they laughed
Copilot: "Bet you can't land on that airport."
Pilot: "Hold my beer."
most probable situation

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha! so true.
@@chakradharcholleti6722 “we’ll write this off as a training expensel
You know the C-17 is a very very special plane. The fact it can take off within 2000 feet and land within that range is unique. Especially for its size
I saw one yesterday flying very low over the base access road - and it took off from a reasonably small airfield that isn't set up for that kind of big bird..........yet there she was.
4 Pratt & Whitney PW2000 at full power, - with no cargo load and ...maybe... 20 % fuel on board.
Bonus, aircraft was specifically designed from the beginning to work on improvised air strips.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do suspect, however - that the pilot who landed that C-17 at a private plane airport - will be regularly reminded all about it by all of their Air Force buddies.
@@agwhitaker -- A massive plane with skilled pilots..........a great combination!
That runway is something like 3000 feet.
@@agwhitakerGeneral Mattis was aboard when they landed and put in a good word for the crew.
I've been a loadmaster on this aircraft for 7 years now and videos like this still make me go from six to midnight! Love my plane!
i love this plane too.
@@andrewamarazoff225 -- You see them flying and it appears as if they can't even stay in the air - until you see them actually perform under stress.
The second C-17 came flying over just to boast and fuck around with the C-17 crew on the ground.
C-17's are specifically designed just like C-130's to land in austere unforgiving short strips of land so taking off from a 3,500 ft strip is plenty of space for this versatile beast of an aircraft!
Correct, I was with the 452nd AMW, unless you witness what this machine is capable of on a regular basis, you just get flabbergasted when one sees it for the first time.
@@timmackey2896 I saw one run over the piano and onto the grass Alice springs NT Australia run way 12/30 2,438m 7,999ft Asphalt 1996.
@@MrLunithy I watched a C-17 land with a 1800 or so foot landing roll at PDX. It was insane
@@timmackey2896 people tend to forget that this thing is usally carrying around heavy loads as well. If it couldnt take off in a short distance when it is low fuel and without cargo, it would be rather useless once you put cargo and fuel in.
That's actually pretty badass if you ask me
Very...
Riley Ripa 3D Agreed. I think getting the plane back into the air must have taken brass lug nuts. ;)
+KrazeeClark A real Cheek-Squeezer.
well, i didn't ask you.
Hugh Mungus How are you lately? it's been a while. Globetrotter is pretty bad ass, the Globemaster don't ordinarily give a damn.
I can never get tired of watching this aircraft take off. It's so large, and you think it is going way too slow. And then, it just lifts off like it's an ultra-light.

Thank you for your service sir
All the people here are so lucky to see this. Damn beautiful plane doing a beautiful takeoff. And the sound of those engines. Pure Music!
Carlos Fernandez Music to my ears is right. In the best of a bad situation, the pilot made a beautiful landing and takeoff.
The sound of those engines - that's the sound of FREEDOM!
These fly over my house every month
Someone is now a Civilian.
Well it's sort of curious but there is in fact a lot of leeway in the military - particularly in the Air Force - for this sort of minor error in judgment. The pilot did not do anything reckless, dangerous or stupid, and managed to make his getaway with no fuss either. I tend to think this will be quietly overlooked by his superiors.
Also enjoyed seeing that big bird scramble to get airborne. Nice.
Thanks for uploading it.
***** I saw that the C-17 was from McGuire AFB. Worked Avionics on the "old", C-141A's & B's, at McGuire, both as a G.I. and as a Civil Servant. Retired from McGuire, a "hundred years ago!" Never worked the C-17 as it didn't come on line until after I retired.
I agree with you - they were probably reprimanded - that would about do it. Haven't read the Incident Report, but they may have accepted a "visual" approach and told the tower (at McDill) that they had the "field in sight", and pressed on for the landing. Even if that was their first trip to McDill, from McGuire, you would think, when they looked out of the window, that the field seemed "a bit too small." Having flown for over 30 years, myself, I've almost headed for the wrong field - sometimes tough to discern when they are fairly close together. If the chart has the field going E to W, and you see a runway going N and S. You better fall back and regroup! They made it OK; that's the important thing.
Good info. I wouldnt know. Never served to see what its like.
@@user-wj4ye8et2t proof? why should they loose wings? They did not done anything bad to loose wings.
They spend over 11 million dollars to train our Pilots he might get a reprimand but that's about it
The nicest thing about the C-17 is that it doesn't give a f*cking shit about the lenght of the runway, it'll take off no matter what
It has to, it's pilots can't read they're charts!
No. Don't be tempted to try it. They may have almost emptied the fuel, and cargo to do that.
@@johnwilliamson2276 but they do have superior education to know the difference between "their" and "they're" charts!
@@jaishetty8586 I’m a 2T251 logistics guy in the Air Force. Been working on C17s and C5s for 11 years. I can almost guarantee you that the C17 still had freight inside it, be it palletized cargo or RS (rolling stock). Doesn’t make much of a difference. The only time you’ll see a C17 struggle to take off is at high altitude airports when it’s carrying 40-60k armored vehicles strapped to its cargo floor via GBUs.
@Anglo Saxon 😂😂🇬🇧
Backing up with reverse thrusters, golden!
This is not a video of a C-17 landing at a commuter airport by accident.
This is a video of a C-17 taking off from a commuter airport deliberately.
Ummm. No
My Navigation-teacher used to say. Take-off is always an option, landing isn't..
LOL
It's true, I saw it in the news. Dunno what the pilot was thinking, but he did land at the wrong airport by mistake.
Okay okay i understand the joke😂😂
That damn thing is a monster!

Tons of freedom.
My god Boeing, you build some beautiful planes

Then taken over by Boeing

Aerohk that’s what I said
I'll never get on board (no pun intended) with a side stick either. Beautiful planes and yoke controls, lovely.
[My] Favorite Plane manufacturers:
1. Lockheed Martin (for bringing us the legendary SR-71 Blackbird and the sick looking F-22/A Raptor)
2. Boeing (Giving us the Monstrous C-17 Globemaster and generally being awesome for commercial use)
Pilot's new call sign: Wrong Way.
How this large thing gets itself off the earth at that crawling speed is INCREDIBLE.
It's not crawling its just so damn big it looks like it is lmao. Thing is hauling serious ass.
Yeah, it was so nice to see this USAF Heavy Compact Aircraft take of. They build up the engine power and held on to their brakes for a certain amount of "power build up". Then they released and went rolling down the runway to lift off.
Secondly, I have been apart of that type of flying since working in the commercial. There several airports that can handle a medium size aircraft on a not so long runway. I remember the John Wayne. Orange County Airport is a short long enough runway for a medium size 757-200. We do the same maneuver on that runway. And so do the other airline as well. And the pilots always come on the PA to let the passengers know what we are about to do for take off. It felt so different when we have to do that procedure. Also, many of the neighborhoods surrounding this small I to medium size airports may have a noise restriction there as well. Aircraft have to get up fast over those areas not to make so much noise.
Reminds me of the time I walked into a brothel to pick up my dry cleaning.
That works! You got your sheets cleaned and your ashes hauled.....

Hahaha! Best comment here
haha bombing children is so funny!! man these cancers will be cured off the face of the planet soon enough.
you mean drugs
frenk GNU hahah your an infidel arent you?! Everyone kill this UnAmerican Cancer of the world!
When I was overseas I had chance take off in one of these and I can tell you people underestimate them they are huge but they can take off in alot less of space than people think it's amazing
Well they are considered STOL aircraft.....
@@sapperstang l
I thought t they were huge then I saw the C-5 and I was like holy crap that’s a lot bigger. Then you see the C-17 side by side with the C-5 and it really puts things into perspective making the C-17 look like a Cessna
A really high lift wing and gobs and gobs of thrust can really shorten your takeoff roll :D
Most aircraft can take off on shorter runways if they absolutely have to. The published limits are just what's recommended for safe operation (which is obviously the first priority).
C17s are the 4 wheel drive of all airplanes. They are specially designed to land and takeoff in short, gravel, dirt, sandy runways. Quite a show for those who witnessed it first hand at this small airport. I'm quite jealous to be honest. American ARMY will never ceased to amaze me. Roby Miner from Mauritius Island 🏝
Loved every second of this. The turbines roaring at 0:57 was just majestic
"Majestic"
Co-Pilot: Uhh, sir I don't think this is the Air Force Base.... Pilot: Shut up, it's a short cut.
Certainly a faster way to the pub.
RangersLeadTheWay23 RBLX He said ...... look dude , do you wanna be on TH-cam or not !!!
lol I could see the pilot looking at the co pilot and say I bet you so much money that we will be on youtube really fast

This vid never gets old.
C-17 be like They see me rollin they hatin
They tryna catch me ridin dirty🎹🎙️🎷🎺
It did a great job at cleaning the airstrip!
it could have damaged its engines with the revers thrust pushback
@@emmanuelyemoh2040 ahh yeah no, not really.
that is a mighty impressive take off and landing. its pretty awesome to know that our air force has that kind of capability.
Now China and the Taliban has it all thank's to Bejing Biden & the Democraps !
That "NOOOO, over there!" was hilarious.
I know how he feels. I thought I was parking at CVS and turned out I had stopped in front of Walgreen. People lined up 5-deep to watch me back out and leave.
Love you man. LOL!
This is awesome!! I love love love the sound when the engines were fully revved
The sight that must have caused landing haha
I love how he just casually backs the thing up.... pauses, and just guns it into the sky lol. Gotta love the badass STOL take off C-17's can do
The way this place glides into the sky is beautiful!
That's a true test of the pilot and the plane right there mister. Well done!
Actually the majority of airports/airfields have no tower. They have too few landing/takeoffs to warrant a tower or are in controlled airspace such as this field. Pilots follow procedure and use assigned radio frequencies to coordinate movement. It's very common. Many have lights that turn on and off by radio signal from inbound/outbound aircraft.
I live 1 mile from the afb nellis in las vegas nv and those c17 are impressive, did you see the power oh those turbines WOW.
That's a McGuire based C-17. I was in air transportation years back when we first started receiving them on base brand new from Boeing. Really cool planes along with the bigger C5 and now retired C141.
Rumor has it they've never had to sweep that airstrip again.
I was on one of these out of Balad with nothing but passengers. Even without a window to look out of, you knew the speed just by the feeling. It's a muscle car of a cargo plane.
According to the specs, those are Pratt & Whitney F117-PW-100 turbofan engines, each one producing in excess of 40,000 pounds of thrust. So you're looking at roughly 80 tons of thrust being used to get that bird off the ground as fast as it can.
This should be titled, "C-17 takes off from small commuter airport on purpose"
And the other C-17 was not going to land there. The military field is only a few miles away, and the runways are closely aligned.
Well these C-17's were designed to land on short runways and dirt runways like its cousin the C-130
Now that's some impressive engineering
Thank you!!
I love how it throws all that dirt around :D
What a beauty! Nice sound. Thanks for video
Can’t even imagine the conversation the pilots had to have after this. Good job taking off
that is nothing short of impressive
This sends chills down my spine every time I watch it SO Friggn Amazing, I flew in a C17 in Iraq and WOW what an E ticket
I'm impressed with the short distance of runway it used to make lift off. Very cool !!
EXCELLENT Video. I love the end with the perfect stills and sound, very nice touch. I flew a lot on C-17's and work now with a few pilots that sit across from me at work. The landing and take off are easy for them, and I could see how the mistake was made with Peter O'Knight Airport being in the flightpath. Crazy vids...
What a beast of a plane!!
I learned something today... A big as plain has a reverse option.
Original_NoLifeGamer its reverse thrust mainly used for reversing the Air to slow the plane down during landings. In this case the C17 can use it to revert hehe.
Anyone else remember the feeling sitting inside a C-17 while it shook violently as they raised the RPMs on its powerful motors, staying in one spot, then releasing the brakes? It looks so slow in the video but man it pins you sideways (sitting with back on skin of aircraft). Insane power.
Yes, the Afghans clearly remember it. A few of them even fell from the sky from the wheel well.
I've watched this a 100 times(or more), and everytime I watch this, I get the chills just hearing those P&W Turbofan's power up..
Still gives me the same sensation. I dont think I've ever seen a better take off video. What a beast.
to give everyone context, this is in tampa, and the airport they landed at is directly in line with runway 09 at macdill. This is runway 09 at peter o knight. it's actually not too hard to mistake one approach for another, as they are very close together, and on the exact same flight path, literally lined up to within feet of each other as far as the final approach lineup.
Neither TPF or MacDill have a Runway 9. MacDill is 05/23. TPF is either 04/22 or 18/36
Takeoff time: 18 seconds, what a powerful engines!
i love how the things ( memory block XD ) make little tornados that last 2 secs
Great engine start up and door shutting and great loud takeoff
Living near Mcchord AFB I see C-17's flying all the time. Great aircraft, highly trained crews, always feel proud when I see one. This is no exception. Short runway is a walk in the park for these crews and aircraft.
I also live near mcchord AFB and often see the c-17’s flying over 512 and I-5
That pilots day did not end until he was standing before his commanders desk at the rigid position of attention trying to explain why he couldn't put his airplane on the correct runway!
Which was all the way back up here in NJ McQuire AFB.
...and the pilot said to the commander, "Sir, it seemed like the right thing to do at the time."
This video is like a gift. Totally unexpected with a happy ending.
Nice vid man
I think Ollie Williams said it best.
"I'm at the wrong airport!"
I spent 8 years in the USAF and was always amazed at how fast some aircraft can become airborne. I watched countless B-52's do touch n goes at Carswell AFB in Fort Worth Texas in 1975 Until I left in 1977. I have been on many a cargo plane while overseas at Incirlik AB, Turkey. Traveled all over Europe & Middle East on a C-141 or C-5! Had the Time of my life!
Crazy how after 32 years, I’m just now seeing a comment that hits so close to home for me. My dad was in the Army for 23 years and met my mother while stationed at Incirlik. She brought my mother to the states in ‘81, she worked at Langley for a lengthy time, I came 10 years later, and here we are. Thank you for your service, good sir. Pilots and crew alike have my utmost respect. I’m sure you got to see some really great things while you were in. Once in a lifetime experience as I like to say!
Wow, Awesome catch mate!
The C-17 is equipped with a special designed thrust reverser system that allows the plane to land and take off on short runways or even rough make shift airstrips. This is one of the may advantages of this cargo transport plane. C=17 is made for use in the war zone as needed.
that was just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
We have the best pilots of the world!!!!!!
Are you sure?! :)
Is that why they landed at the wrong airport? (according to video description)
tiepie You seem to think having great pilots means they can't ever make a mistake. Not sure how anybody could arrive at that idea but it's just plain asinine to think even the best pilots in the world won't ever make a mistake. Seriously, do you actually think that because that's really fuckin' *STUPID*.
WelshWidgetMan2O1O
Come on, that was an joke waiting to be made. Don't be a jerk. Unlike you I presume, I have spent quite alot of time flying planes. This was without a doubt embarrassing for the pilots. The USA might have the best pilots in the world, but it also has the most pro-national youtube-commenters on the planet.
dave ambux actually Poland has the best pilots since WW2 till now check this one /watch?v=Q9WNnJprwzU ;)
With the size of the runway and the airplane is amazing. Nice vid.
though it was brief, thanks for the visit.
The beast
I respect the Americans for what they have accomplished!!!!!!!! :-)
loving all the style!
That is one badass plane. I hope the pilots don't get reprimanded nothing bad happened and people enjoyed the show. Greetings from Quebec
That branch of the military is called Delta Farce.....
First as the Delta tragedy, then as the Delta Farce.
Pilot had one job only...
Cool video mate
Thats an insane takeoff especially from a heavy military cargo airliner
Thas a big fucking plane. Sometimes you gotta wojder how something so big and so heavy can fly. LOL I love technology.
Thanks for the suggestion
Kingrex16 Look through the open cargo bay of either this aircraft or the C5 Galaxy from forward to aft and you will see just how slim the fuselage is. It is the engines that are so massive and heavy that provide the thrust.
Hugh Lusignan I thought it was because the pilot and the crew were flapping their arms like crazy.
***** I believe that is Ukrainian. But modified by Russian for their space programme.
***** You mean Ukrainian A 225 Mriya ( Мрія or Мрия = Ukrainian dream )
Pilot will be having an interview without coffee from his CO then........
Spectacular

I miss riding in those! they are so awesome!
I bet that pilot got a promotion.
***** Yeah I commented on that video too lol
The C-17 is designed to operate from runways as short as 3,500 ft (1,100 m) and as narrow as 90 ft (27 m). In addition, the C-17 can operate from unpaved, unimproved runways (although with greater chance of damage to the aircraft).
Well, that runway is only 1,038 m long ^^
Seiniger and yet it got up faster than pretty much any GA bird using half the damn runway lmao
@@TheNondiscriminatory -- Makes ya wonder if it was carrying much of a load.
That is a damn cool piece of equipment. Cool take off. Has to have some power to lift that beast on a short take off.
I have always love the C17's they are serious work horses and just a awesome design an power plants that are like no other.... This thing is a beast. The skills of the pilot is awesome.
Love how they can throw it in "R" and back up
+crissy214 Reverse thrust with the jet engines, passenger jets does it too.
HikerBikerDude1953 no they don’t they have pushbacks. i mean I guess they can but that’s just wasting fuel
@@gavcom4060 not about fuel but about the risk of ingesting objects into the engines
Jets with engines under the wings actually aren’t allowed to use reverse thrust at the gates because they can suck in objects or staff jets with engines by the tail or higher up can reverse thrust if they want to though they normally just get a tug as it’s easier and they make less wind/noise at the gates.
These things are built to land and take off on short runways
Nope
@@freeq1164 why no, this plane can land anywhere
That take off seems so impossible at first thought. Really crazy.
Epic Video!
All the Air Force pilots are like fuck him he gotta it there, he gets it outta there too!
+Ruben Delgadillo Apparently, a test pilot was brought in to fly the C-17 out as the "normal" crew was not comfortable flying it out with little or no runway to spare.
+Ruben Delgadillo Yep, those test pilots are pretty damn good at what they do. They certainly practice for almost every messed up scenario.
Mini vortex on the far right engine 0:35
Good catch
+Jhawkmarine ? thats significant?
+mainlymusicman well im mean it's kinda cool
+Jhawkmarine What about noticing what looks like reverse flow combustion happening just after on the engine no.2? Surely that's significant. I hope that isn't what I'm seeing, although I suppose those military spec engines are over-engineered to cope.
Yes, it's significant for the connoisseurs. Learn how a tornado works and you'll figure it out. Remember, hot air at ground level and cooler air plus wind in upper part?
This was so very impressive. What an AWESOME US Air Force pilot...thanks for sharing this AMAZING feat!! 👍👍
awesome footage! :)
Pilot: damn it feels good to be gangsta
Co Pilot: Bruuuuh you is the real G
Did anyone notice the water vapor funnel being shown at 37 secs ?
That looks pretty familiar. Doesn't wikipedia have a picture of that exact frame?
On the number 1 engine, if anyone asks where.

You’d be surprised to see some of the places those get in and out of.... smaller than that airport even...:
The power in those engines to take of being so heavy amazing.
