I am very pleased to share this project demonstrating the precise work and skill behind a tactical landing in a C-17 Globemaster. This type of maneuver is practiced regularly for landing in combat situations when needed. The landing takes us from Palm Springs, CA into March Air Reserve Base. A very special THANK YOU goes to the following people of the 452nd Air Mobility Wing: Jon Millmann, JB Guillotte, Tyler Hamill, Ryan Benson, Paul Bugar, Osmin Suguitan, and Linda Welz
Aircraft data is as follows:
US Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Nr. 05-5144 - 452nd AMW (Call Sign: SLAM 19 Heavy)
My production partner Ryan Bomar also documented this landing as well as the Veterans Day low pass flyovers leading up to this landing. You can see his video here: • Veterans Day: Multiple...

I was part of a flight test group on the C-17. Short takeoff and landing were impressive, but tactical decents are like nothing else you have ever experienced!!!!

@LoveJT8D 2 года назад

That’s awesome to be part of a C-17 flight test group! I bet lots of different maneuvers you could speak to, that most would think impossible for a plane that size.

@captjohn1124 2 года назад

@@LoveJT8D I was sitting about mid way back, under the wing root, with a cable running up to the fuel gauging computer, watching and recording fuel movement in the wings on a laptop, with another one right next to me on the seat. When we did the tactical decent the flight crew asked that everyone strap in as we all called out that we were (we went over this in preflight). We pulled negative G's, fuel moved in the wings, and the laptop on the seat next to me, I looked over at it and it was floating in the air (probably light enough to go weightless). After my part of the testing was done I went up in the cockpit and sat in one of the sliding seats behind the pilots during some short takeoffs and landings. It was VERY impressive!!!

@@captjohn1124 is this to simulate a enemy SAM in the region so, to avoid getting hit, they do a sharp angle of attack near the Base final ?

@captjohn1124 2 года назад

@@LK-pc4sq it's to minimize the aircrafts exposure to anti aircraft exposure. They basically position the aircraft above the airfield, put on all 4 thrust reverses, and spiral down while staying over the airfield. We started out at 30,000 feet, our ceiling was 10,000 feet for safety reasons. She shook like all hell, but that dam aircraft just did a slow spiral down, completely under control. I used to fly, trust me, I was VERY impressed. During an actual manure they flair out, and retract the reverses above the runaway threshold. At least that's how one of the pilots explained it to me. I've spent a lot of time on aircraft, but I have never seen anything like this before. The aircraft is incredibly stable!!!

@captjohn1124 2 года назад

I think they only hit one C-17 operating out of Iraqi during the war. Hit an engine, they flew in another one, changed it out, and I believe they had it back flying in 24 hours. I know of one that was damaged, not sure how, but they pieced it back together and flew it back to Long Beach CA, I understand it was returned to full service. The amount of flight time those aircraft accumulated was amazing!!

I always wondered what it looked like in the cockpit landing at March. I lived at the top of the runway in the early 80's and would ride my bike to the top of the runway and sit at the fence by the first approach light and watch them do touch n goes all day. Got to see the SR-71 land there a few times and Pres. Reagan land lots of times. Great times

@thehumanityoflife6460 2 года назад

I also have watched the presidential plane there and the F-117 do touch-and-go landings. Did you know that the SR-71 has soft skin? I don't know if you are allowed to be near the display airplanes at the March Air museum nowadays.

@lilfuzzy5908 2 года назад

As a SoCal flight instructor, I have flown into March many times. It is a fantastic approach given how massive the runway is. The FBO has amazing GA service as well.

Bravo! Having worked around these planes at a local FBO here in St. John's Newfoundland for years when you guys would come in for fuel either on their way to or back from the desert, I always looked at the C-17 as a whale of an aircraft. If you look at it, it doesn't look like it could be very agile at all. But from your video it doesn't look like she has any problem with dancing when you want her too!

I fly a Cessna 172 built in 1977. When me and my pilot buddies are taking over beers, we always get to the question of if you could only pilot one plane for the rest of your career, what would it be? Of course the most common answer is the F22 Raptor, the P51 Mustang or some other high performance jet. My answer is this, the C17. It’s got everything. Size, power, performance, range, capacity, everything.

@LoveJT8D 2 года назад

@LoveJT8D 7 лет назад

@superskullmaster 4 года назад

There is no flare. The landing procedure is similar to a carrier landing. Power controls decent rate and pitch controls speed. Since pitch is locked in they use power to decrease only the decent rate, AKA there is no flare as the pitch doesn’t change.

@CaptianInternet Год назад

It is weird. When a Fighter Jet does those incredible maneuvers I feel excited but it is okay. But what THESE pilots do with tons and tons for mass behind them is INSANE. I really would love to be as a passenger in an F16 until I pass out. But I never ever ever ever want a Globemaster Pilot telling me we will do a tactical landing. I would shit my pants. Still, it is an awesome maneuver. Unbelievable what these machines can do.
