C-17 Globemaster 3 DIFF Approaches 🛬 1 inch above runway floater Birmingham Airport ( BHX )

[@GenXWing72]

I’ve seen a lot of these at our 911th Airlift Wing on practice days. Lots of touch and goes with C-17’s, KC-10 and KC-35 Stratotankers. So cool to watch and I know great viewing places of the runways.

Thanks Jeff 👍

[@misterspitfire6564]

I remember seeing this sort of action during lockdown - It went on for several days, and we got a great view as they flew over our home in Castle Bromwich. You've got a much better view there though!

[@AirportAction]

That's right misterspitfire , quite a lot of military approach practice was carried out at BHX during lockdown 👍

[@Jacobtrades04]

Seen one doing touch and go at Liverpool airport last night, was around sunset it looked so good, I was pretty far away however

[@Darren97381]

Great catch !!

Thanks Darren 👍

[@jeffchandler7662]

I live near brize and a C17 has done a couple of extremely fast approaches to the base today ………love seeing large A/C fly low and fast !!

You must see some great military aircraft Jeff 👍

Thanks Allan , it would be great to capture a C-5 👍

Bit of T&G runway action.

[@garthcox4307]

They have been fairly regular visitors for years but I've never known whether they are delivering something or training.

[@AirportAction]

Hi Garth , occasionally , they may bring injured military personal into BHX , to be taken to the QE Hospital or like yesterday a few practice approaches 👍

[@garthcox4307]

@AirportAction I think you are correct, they were more common during the Afghanistan war years.

[@HappyGrump]

Was that today (Monday)? Seen it come down from Newcastle. Is it the same one?

Why do they touch and go folks ?

[@juleshathaway3894]

It is a practise landing, roll for a short distance and take off again. It is standard training nothing unusual at all.

[@AirportAction]

Hi Nigel , it's not unusual to see a C-17 or A400 practicing approaches at BHX 👍

[@johnedwards3198]

Nope pilots need flight time and so many take offs/landings. Going around is especially relevant considering what happened during the evacuation of Kabul

[@hubbezoglu]

but why?

[@fordwrc2006]

Practice divert

[@johnedwards3198]

All pilots commercial or military must do a certain amount of touch and go landings to prepare them for a real life missed approach, severe weather or engineering failure. However look up the evacuation of Kabul. Op Pitting... The amount of times they had to land then abort landings because of conditions on the ground!!
