[@davidthebirdman5467]

Back when I used to work for a farmer in Washington state the military would do practice runs with c-130s out in almost the middle of nowhere. We'd all be just chilling in our tractors baleing hay. Then all the sudden there'd be 5-8 c-130s flying over with there back doors open. They would drop crates, people, hummers, utv's, atv's, and pretty much what every they could fit inside. It was so cool to watch because they'd drop only a few miles away and seeing the sky scattered with parachutes is an awesome sight.

I hear that sound in my sleep. I was a Chinook pilot in Nam. The big “thump thump” sound plus the screaming of the forward transmission that was just above the pilot’s heads. Oddly, the sound quiets down a bit in a full power climb. At least on the inside. I’m sure all the former Chinook crews have bad hearing just like mine. Nearly deaf in the high frequencies.

Id rather be in a helicopter at full engine failure than a plane.

[@tanja8907]

@Derp 101 providing the pilot still has control of collective pitch they can instigate autorotation.

[@juniors.6085]

@Derp 101 If you are a pilot in jet with ejector seats, thats a very different situation. If you are in a fixed wing, and your engine goes down, with a full load of passengers, youre going to have a lot of injuries, and potentially fatalities. Rotary wing, the pilot can auto rotate down, and touch down with very little impact. In Canada, pilots have to re certify their auto rotation skills every year, in order to fly commercially. So yes, as a usual passenger, helicopters are the way to go, if that engine is going to fail.

I used to occasionally see C17's at exercises at the former Castle AFB in California.

Vortices with significant vapor cones off the wingtips. Must have been pulling some pretty good G's for such heavy iron.

Since they have a very high wing load they offer the calmest low level flight of all western jets. This however affects the maneuverability, a reason why the ADV version was never a success

@@simonm1447 It‘s like someone designed them that way. I guess the ground following radar helps too.

[@simonm1447]

@@NavySeal2k that's right. This is the planned role for the tornado, low and fast, with a terrain following radar. It's a specialist, but that makes it less capable in other roles, like the ADV role where it suffers under the low turn rates due to the high wing load. It's a fighter bomber, no interceptor.
