US AIR FORCE C-17 | EPIC Tactical Takeoff, Descent and Landing | Cockpit view

It was my absolute privilege to fly with one of the US Air Force's C-17 Globemasters' based at McGuire Air Force Base with a crew from Travis Air Force base from the 21st Airlift Squadron supporting exercise Mobility Guardian 2019.
We performed a tactical takeoff from a location in Washington and performed a tactical descent and landing at Moses Lake Airport in Washington state.

It's to do with the flap setup the C-17 has. The engine exhaust 9s blown directly onto the flaps, unlike most passenger aircraft, and then directed downwards. This also greatly helps with the short landings and takeoffs the globemaster can perform

I was a young soldier in the Army and now that I am not young anymore, I reflect on how young I must have and did indeed look.

rage5606 ? By soldiers I actually meant “warriors”which in times of strife is what they are, as opposed to run of the mill airline pilots. Using one of these craft to drop a tank into an unprepared field in a combat zone with people shooting at you is what separates them from airline pilots. It is quite common to see very young pilots flying for the airline, especially the Asian carriers. Most anybody can learn to fly an airplane.

Yakima firing range. Just after take off you can see the Cascades on the left and Yakima on the right. At 4:53 on the left is the canyon river road between Ellensburg and Yakima.

4:04 in another dimension, the pilots touch hands. them:😳🥵

Love it. I live in SE WA (KPSC) -I couldn’t make out the Dep airport.

Do your parents know that your out flying this big jet????????

[@utubewatcher360]

@@maqthedon8969 Boy did that go over your head Lidstrom !!! I was paying them a compliment on how young they are. Im also a pilot - so nothing needs to sink in other than your trying to turn my comment around as an insult on these fine young pilots serving our country. Think next time before you comment.

Interesting yoke !

top notch video quality

I woke up and watched The Price is Right, life goals

[@carbonking53]

The pilot in the left seat looks like he's about 19....lol........God Bless our troops. The best of the best!

[@Waischess]

lol ))

[@Gardis72]

The pilot doesn't look like he's much older either. Must have had some fabulous intensive training.

What do the green/yellow 4 vertical lines represent?

[@CloudNine1]

Thrust!

[@eatcommies1375]

@@CloudNine1 Thanks for the reply, I figured that, but what’s the significance of going yellow to green?

[@rdc2724]

Nice video, I noticed that the speed tape on the ADI is a reversal of the tapes commonly used in airliners!

[@Dra741]

I was amazed by the fly-by-wire left-hand joystick, you control the aircraft fly-by-wire was new when this aircraft came out but it was early it came out with the F-16 when I saw the avionics and the backup redundant systems with fly-by-wire I was impressed with her but I still was a little bit frightened about it, if it Electronics fails you don't have a physical opportunity to save the aircraft

[@jbizzle1966]

UNDISCLOSED LOCATION? I been there before. I was stationed at Travis AFB. That was a tactical departure? We used to perform tactical departures alot differently when i was in

It's pretty impressive to take off from 1300 meter long runway in hills north-east of Yakima. (Though I doubt they'll be able to do it loaded.) And landing there might have been even more impressive.

[@Lockeedman]

You'd be surprised at what the Globemaster can do loaded, even at MTOW

[@damkayaker]

17:39 - devil horns!

[@marcs990]

Did these when I was on tour in Bosnia n had to land at Split. We were in a C130, the takeoff seemed about right but I’m sure on the landing phase it was literally a dive to the runway n flaring at the last moment. It probably felt worse as we were in the back 🇬🇧

[@jayb8369]

Weird seeing the air crew wearing OCP's instead of the standard flight suit.

[@muddasir7479]

these young people will fly better than old pilots

[@patrickkelly5009]

Lining up and taking off from 32R at MHW heading NNW towards Ephrata, Wa (for those curious)

[@wp40]

Landing was at MWH. Takeoff was from an LZ near Yakima. (for those curious)

[@johnmoore8016]

I noticed the gage in front of the throttles showed four vertical columns on take-off after they landed it showed round gauges do they change automatically or do the pilots change them? if the four green columns weres the power for the engines a few time when he was coming in the final leg they looked like he didn't have much power on the engines. Both pilots looked very young. thanks for a very outstanding video. Mississippi gulf coast, USA)

[@KarlH1980]

Modern displays do serve multiple functions. They're generally manually selected. I'm sure there some auto thing out there somewhere but all of the ones that I am familiar with are manually selected by the crew.

[@c17nav]

The circles at the top represent the engines' thrust reverser (TR) status when they are deployed. The circles are yellow (with the label UNLK in the center) for the TRs in the unlocked/in-transit condition. The circles are cyan (with a label REV) when the TRs are fully deployed. No circles are used when the TRs are stowed.

[@nmb46]

Truly awesome.

[@BigDawgCleveland]

Sweet! Those guys look too young to be piloting a C-17 ha ha Great job men!

[@Tsamokie]

Most US pilots during WWII were in their late teens and twenties.

[@Stack151]

Looks like that little strip in Yakistan, although I didn’t think it was long enough for C17s…. Good stuff.
