I had the honor of documenting a C-17/KC-135 air-to-air refueling mission performed by a very knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated flight crew based in March Air Reserve Base located in Riverside County, California (452nd Air Mobility Wing). This video demonstrates the basic functions of the C-17 and what it takes to refuel such a large aircraft in-flight. Aircraft data is as follows:
US Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Nr. 55139 - 452nd AMW
Many thanks to the men and women of the United States Air Force and especially the wonderful people at March Air Reserve Base for making this video possible. I hope to bring inspiration to the aviation community and demonstrate the hard work and efforts of our armed forces.
Ryan Bomar who runs an amazing Aviation RU-vid Channel was covering footage in the KC-135 during this mission. You can see his footage here:

And I love it, I love it, I love it so very much! You and your folks did an amazing job and you can be very proud of yourself and your folks at Boeing and this aircraft is simply one of the best aircraft's in the world! Sure I don't fly it personally but I fly the legendary and most majestic aircraft ever in the world - the Boeing 747-400F/747-400BCF but to see this gorgeous aircraft flying is really fascinating and astonishing and - in a manner of speaking - I am a bit jealous of people who can fly this aircraft! So much for this and have a great day and enjoy the time and stay safe out there and take care of yourself and your family and lovely greetings from Captain Sarah Sutter 🙋💖✈️👍😍

The C-17 Globemaster III is a great aircraft and the crews who fly them have to be the best in the world as they maneuver their aircraft to their destinations and refuel in midair. I worked on and flew on the C-141's while stationed at the old Norton AFB, and also on the C-130's and C-5's. I even got to work on a DC-8 while stationed in South Korea and some Navy C-130's.

I find military cargo airplanes fascinating. They're part of both worlds - many things are very military-style, while at the same time many things remind you very much of civilian big airplanes. Like having a HUD and a standard set of Boing autopilot controls at the same time. Do they use paper charts in 2020 or did the military transition to electronic flight bags like their civilian counterparts did in the last few years?
@LoveJT8D
@LoveJT8D 4 года назад
GeFlixes As far as I can tell it’s a mix, but I can say that paper charts still seem to be an essential tool. I filmed the briefing of another C-17 mission which involved Veterans Day ceremonial flyovers, and all crew were reviewing paper charts prior to the flight. That’s the reason why I like military cargo because I’m such a big enthusiast on passenger airliners. It really seems to fit the category.

Really interesting film. I was surprised how many bits of paper they still use. I understand they probably need to practice with bits of paper but you would think stuff like that would be on a tablet etc.

Any idea what the vertical rate was on the initial climb out? Looked like a lot more than 1800fpm. Impressive!!!!
@LoveJT8D
@LoveJT8D 7 лет назад
John Mullen Not sure of the exact vertical rate. There were a couple G's to be felt but I'll let someone else weigh in who knows the C-17 climbing limits (mostly empty). Definitely impressive!

What sort of climb rate were they doing philip?
@LoveJT8D
@LoveJT8D 6 лет назад
A Nelson I’m not really sure to be honest, the the G’s pulled from the takeoff were fairly short lived. After about 10 seconds it felt like a pretty normal climb.

Awesome video! Got 2 questions ahah: - You left the gear down during the initial accel before pitching up again, what's the purpose of that? - I noticed but I might be wrong, the airspeed on your (middle shared PFD) is increasing from below rather than from above, right ? Thanks and safe flight guys!
@LoveJT8D
@LoveJT8D 6 лет назад
Thomas Jn I'm just the camera guy so nowhere near as knowledgeable as the crew here to answer your questions. I heard there is a reason for the gear down but not sure what that is. Hope someone can jump in and answer. I filmed another C-17 flight where the gear was left down for a while as well.

orgcoast You know I’m not sure, but hopefully someone can weigh in who has worked on both. My guess is the C-17 is more agile than the C-5 in its maneuvering capabilities.

Hmmm! Positive rate of climb, no runway remaining? Anyway, I do appreciate the footage.
@marcanderson7748
@marcanderson7748 4 года назад
No runway remaining is single engine mentality. When you've got more than one engine you normally bring it up as soon as a positive rate is established. There are times when we intentionally leave the gear down for brake or strut cooling but it appears that they forgot. It's like Pavlov's dog, if no one ever calls positive rate then no one calls gear up. That would never ever happen to us would it...🤫😎

@LoveJT8D
@LoveJT8D 4 года назад
ASHWATH ASTHANA I’m not sure about the glide slope. The descent was tactical in nature and most likely VFR at that point. I’m not sure how much they were relying on a glide slope indicator at that point.
