U.S AIR FORCE C-17 SINT MAARTEN EXTREME TAKEOFF

[@lmbpilot7]

That’s my airplane!!! I was a Crew Chief on that very aircraft when I was in the 172nd Air Guard Unit in Jackson, MS. I was there when that aircraft was new and first arrived at the base. Great to see it out flying doing such a cool takeoff from such a short runway.

[@HashCeo]

Thank you for your service! I get fly overs from C-17's almost 3 times a week from YARS to PittARS. Badass Planes!

[@lakitarichardson4190]

Thank you for your Service ❤ I pray life is treating you well 🙏🙏💖

[@pauljennings8132]

That runway is over 8000 ft. long.

[@user-jc3oz9uc3b]

you Sir are a legend for this 🫡🤘🇺🇸

[@djbigsmooth470]

The pilot had mercy on the beachgoers. Many of the planes are usually closer to the end of the runway.

[@phonzh.81]

Fortunately that plane can take off with the limited runway length

[@firewood9991]

Hardly a "mind blowing takeoff". Whoever filmed this was more interested in the spectators than the takeoff.

[@rchuyck]

Been there, great place to watch landings and takeoffs. Sunsets bar is right there too. Love it!

[@LeL-q9e]

Must be tough, to be stationed in paradise. I highly recommend visiting. It's fabulous!

[@maurices5259]

The guy in the white hat seems to be taking pictures of the girls and ignores the C-17

[@divineeegoddess]

Eww that's gross

[@lucaas]

That's a cool catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this takeoff in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!

[@Sonic357]

That's Saint Mar😮airport.. thought that looked familiar. A lady was killed watching an airplane take off. Didn't know military aircraft used that as well.

[@mrgone658]

That tadpole gripping the fence thought he could ride through the thrust of a heavy lift military transport; he thought wrong...🤨😏🤔🤭...

[@miked9958]

I think he sprained an ankle on that one

[@reubenmorris487]

Those are REALLY powerful engines...not a good idea to stand behind at full-power.

[@michaelfowler3042]

Maho Beach. The planes come so close to the beach when landing and feeling the jet blast is what tourists ho for. It was awesome

[@briananderson8733]

SHOULD Have kept the camera on the JET TAKING OFF NOT the few spectators who were going to get wet. Poor topic selection.

[@rvnmedic1968]

Possibly protecting the camera lense from being sand blasted???

[@derekv8534]

Meh, that was a standard right turn take off. Not even close to its max capabilities.

[@greg1288]

Camera dude had one simple job and he FAILED spectacularly!🤔

[@airwolfthehelicopter]

Beach goers: thank you for your service 🫡

[@dwill123]

Dude next time get a tripod and keep still.

[@user-jc3oz9uc3b]

my man in the white, bracing for it like Naruto fighting the end boss 😂😂😂

[@johncolberg7229]

Cool jet blast but you totally missed the takeoff 🤭

[@spurgendahl]

Would have been a nice video until the camera was sandblasted.

[@CBrolley]

Well, it MIGHT have been “mind blowing” if the plane had taken off TOWARD you. Basically it was just a few people pointing cameras at a plane.

[@Supreme_MJ]

2:20 that one person is ready to withstand the jet blast from the C-17

[@ralfsxm851]

I watched it life

[@lw216316]

more body blowing than mind blowing

[@sydneymathuka4228]

Its carrying casket arround the world

[@jamesbrookes6569]

The guy in the white tee shirt, did a credit card fall from his pocket ??

[@lemmingsfly]

How does this have upvotes

[@Rod3E900]

I imagine 2:06 the MS. ANG bird "broke" in flight with the only diversion airport available being St. Maarten...it could happen. We "broke" in Hawaii one time...took 3 days to get the right parts flown in to "fix" it !!!

[@raymondclark1785]

We had an Albatross hole the hull in Labrador The mechanics sent to fix it like our food better than Goose Bay and milked the job for months til the bay froze over and they could take off on top of the ice

[@robertcartwright563]

They Go!

I'm not really interested in the idiots trying to ride the fence!! I would much rather see the C-17!!!

[@reidsampey2045]

Not a "mind blowing takeoff" Clickbait... It takes off the same as any other large jet aircraft.

If it's at a military base it's cool, if a military aircraft is at a public airport then there is a problem. 🤔
