RoaringBones Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) http://yfrog.com/mk7ekz It really can do short runway landings and take offs (3500 ft of runway to take off, and the longest Peter O'Knight runway is only 3400 feet) im guessing fact sheet was wrong? :megalol:.of course this won't go well with the brass.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQqSgz1OgNE < Take off after Edited July 21, 2012 by RoaringBones

joey45 Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 So... I live in London and there's two airfields on the west [just in/outside of London.. One is a small...ish Military airfield with A rather short runway [enough for a Hurc] the other is Heathrow with TWO big runways.................. you can see where this is going can't you..? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

lobo Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 It's not the first time its happened, it probably wont be the last. It certainly highlights the incredible STOL performance of the C-17!

RaXha Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 That is truly awesome, can't imagine what's going through the pilots mind when he realises the strip might be to short :P

ShuRugal Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 3500 ft min takeoff distance, and he was clear of the ground a third of the way from the end of a 3400 ft runway, and clear 30ft by the end of the runway? ****, he could have just turned around and taken right back off again without all the trouble of unloading first.
Yurgon Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) ****, he could have just turned around and taken right back off again without all the trouble of unloading first. Looks like. But if he'd done that and crashed, just imagine how we'd all go "Stupid moron, why on earth didn't he unload first, every child knows the runway was way too short!" :lol: Edited July 22, 2012 by Yurgon Typo
Stickers Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Does anyone know the full story on this? I am an ex 17 Crew Chief and it tickles me to see stuff like this. I know when I was Turkey we had a jet land on the taxiway instead of the runway on accident(think the aircrew was on NVGs or some bs reason) and I think the gear up landing in Afghanistan was pilot error. Having worked/flown(as Flying Crew Chief) with 17 pilots, I can say you meet some of the brightest people, and some of the scariest. I am assuming she had little or no cargo, but **** that's a tight landing... I wonder what length the computers thought they were landing on. The breaks were probably lobster red also.
