SPECTACULAR C-17 GLOBEMASTER III RUN AND BREAK | RAF BRIZE NORTON 17.04.23

A C-17 Globemaster III of 99 Squadron (ZZ178) stationed at RAF Brize Norton, initiates a series of spectacular 'Run and Break'. This is the largest aircraft that the TCS have seen perform such an awesome manoeuvre that we regularly see with Typhoons, F-15s and F35s.
There is something majestic about watching a large heavyweight aircraft performing such a simple manoeuvre that is so commonly seen with fighter jets.
The C-17 Globemaster III (Globemaster C-17) is a longrange, heavy-lift strategic transport aircraft that can operate close to a potential area of operations for combat, peacekeeping or humanitarian missions worldwide.
C-17 is capable of rapid, strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases anywhere in the world. The Globemaster’s load-bearing rear ramp and digitally controlled loading systems, combined with the skills of its crews and ground handlers, enable large, complex items of equipment, including Chinook helicopters, military vehicles and other heavy items of specialist kit to be loaded.
It can transport 100,000lb (45,360kg) of freight more than 4,500nm (8,334km) while flying at altitudes above 35,000ft. The aircraft’s design enables high-angle, steep approaches at relatively slow speeds, allowing it to operate into small, austere airfields and onto runways as short as 3,500ft long and just 90ft wide.
The Royal Air Force had been without an organic outsize strategic lift capability since the Short Belfast was withdrawn in 1976, relying, ironically, on civilian operated Belfasts for the movement of such loads during the 1982 Falklands War and making use of chartered freighters.
By the end of the 1990s it had become clear that this capability gap ought to be filled, and in 2000 the Ministry of Defence (MoD) agreed a seven-year ‘lease and support’ contract with Boeing and the US Air Force (USAF) for four C-17A Globemaster III (Globemaster C-17) strategic transports.
The C-17A had become the Globemaster III on February 5, 1993, following on from the USAF’s Douglas C-74 Globemaster and C-124 Globemaster II post-war piston-engined transports. By the time the UK defined its initial C-17 requirement the type was well established in service and the RAF benefitted from access to the global C-17 support network and supply chain. In UK service, the type is typically referred to as C-17 or Globemaster, no formal RAF role/numerical designation (Globemaster C.Mk 1 would have followed the regular pattern of aircraft titles) being applied, since the aircraft was initially leased.
Number 99 Squadron reformed at RAF Brize Norton to operate the aircraft, which rapidly became a stalwart and key enabler of the airbridge operation that sustained UK operations in Afghanistan. Even at the peak of Operation Herrick, however, the C-17 serviced humanitarian and operational commitments elsewhere and rather than taking an option to extend the C-17 lease by two years, the MoD bought the initial four aircraft and ordered a fifth in 2006.
Continued demand saw a sixth ordered in 2007, a seventh in 2009 and the eighth and, to date, final example in 2012. The latter was ordered and delivered within weeks at a reported cost of £200 million according to an MoD press statement.
Humanitarian flights, typically planned and flown wherever needed at very short notice, are common 99 Squadron trade, while the fact remains that when a C-17 taxies onto an airfield ramp anywhere in the world, with the Union Jack painted large on its side, there can be no doubt that UK interests are involved.
In 2022, a Globemaster carried the body of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II from Edinburgh to RAF Northolt ahead of the sovereign’s state funeral in London.

[@DanielWalkersteros67]

​@TedConingsby I know right. Just how do they fly?

[@glennpowell3444]

For such a big aircraft that bank angle was insane.Wings cant produce positive lift at nearly 90 degrees.Its just energy and momentum that keeps the aircraft up for a nanosecond.The nose itself looked like it was not turning down but the plane must have slid down alot that you never see on camera.Anyone remember that B52 crash at fairchild many years ago?

[@TedConingsby]

Oiii oiii Glen 🤙🏼 when we heard “run and break” from the pilot, we didn’t think much of this but when we seen it with our own eyes, we did get a little goosebump fur on end and at the same time breathtaking to see. And if it wasn’t enough the once, the pilot did it a few times more

[@glennpowell3444]

@@TedConingsby I agree .Spectacular to watch but understanding how any aircraft actually flies find it Man versus Physics.I saw the Boeing 777 at Riat in 2001 when it was brand new.The pilots were indeed Boeing test pilots and I will never forget what they did.It just should have fallen out of the sky with some crazy bank angles.What I was saying in my first comment and having had flying lessons that in a tight turn the aircraft looses altitude very quickly because it stops producing lift.Gravity takes no prisoners.

[@TedConingsby]

@@glennpowell3444 wow that’s amazing. It is scary to watch and all because of gravity too as you say

[@rvnmedic1968]

Sure is grand but the severe bank had me concerned. Thought it was a film clip of the C17 that exceeded the angle and crashed it. Cowboys don't belong in the cockpit. Enough said. 35 years in the USAF, Vietnam Vet and Pentagon weenie. CMSgt Bob Powell, USAF(Ret)

Nothing abnormal, but I was blessed with working at a commercial airport that was also a ANG base. So I was able to see these birds do all sorts of stuff. I really like the short takeoff rolls and short landings. How does something so large become airborne so quickly and then stop in such a manner. BTW The ANG had C5-Bs there before the 17's.

[@TedConingsby]

When you see this in real life, can leave a little startled to see a large aircraft so this. And just when the once wasn’t enough lol, it did it few more times just to let it sink in.

[@cliffwhite2812]

This manoeuvre is practiced by the C17s at Brize occasionally and has been for several years. Never seen it done by any other Brize aircraft over the thirty years I've lived nearby. Edit: to clarify, VC10s were limited to less that 45 degree bank angle and were a good 100 knot slower on the run in so they were not as noticeable as a manoeuvre. The C17 arrives at 300+ knots with engines howling and exceeds 60 degrees of bank angle. Of course, visiting fighters do it even better.

[@TedConingsby]

This was our first time seeing this and it’s rather spectacular and impressive. As we are used to seeing this daily and everyday with Typhoons at my home base, it’s something mesmerising about seeing a C17 do this. Oooohhhh yeah

Actually, it was originally a McDonnell-Douglas aircraft. It had already been designed by them and they had built a few of them when Boeing bought out their company. Boeing finished the project after the buy out.

[@johnnunn8688]

It’s called a ‘run in and break’. There’s no need to do it, if there’s only a single aircraft. It’s for formations so they ensure the correct separation for landing.

[@TedConingsby]

Not quite. The ‘Run in’ is an aircraft entering the pattern/circuit. The ‘break’ is when the aircraft turns sharply and into the pattern, usually downwind but depends on the intentions. It doesn’t have to be in formation. A ‘run and break’ can be a single aircraft or more.

Also one saw an all white IAF 707 flying down the Jordan valley really low, following the ground contour at 100 to 120m off the ground. The huge plane was twisting and turning to follow the ground contours, the pilot was working the 707 hard, wings flexing and bouncing around.
