We are about to have the Wings Over Houston out here at Ellington. I live near the end of the runway and I have seen this plane do some WICKED tricks!!

[Stealth496]

That was low? Try living at the end of a runway of Americas biggest air force base, then tell me whats low.

[toogoodbw]

@Stealth496 That was 500ft AGL as low as they can normally go when they are not on a charted procedure or landing

[sermerlin1]

damn that shit is slow xD

[globemaster68]

that is probably 1000 feet AGL, i think that is the minimum distance above the ground they can go at airshows, or flyovers etc.

[PSNdomgul58]

@globemaster68 i think the minimun is like +100ft

[globemaster68]

@PSNdomgul58 yeah, i am thinking lateral/horizontal distance from the crowd.

[PSNdomgul58]

@globemaster68 I see good thinking bat man

[stoopidhaters]

oh come on, the C-130 can go so much lower than that :p

[wwefan774977]

i just watched one do this lower over my town and theres no airport or strip around

[LongRangeBullet]

I saw one at the Watsonville Fly-In airshow in Cali today, and it was amazing. The stopping distance on this plane is astounding.

[aviatormxpilot]

@LongRangeBullet From wheels on ground to complete stop then moving backwards in 11 or 12 seconds!

[physchohead24]

I live right by an air force base, and i see them WAY lower than that daily.

[cmseabra]

Low pass? LOOOOOOL



[cortes1988]

That sounded like a C-5 at the beginning.

[sailesh2001]

you should see us crazy canadians at CFB trenton. c-17 going 60 degrees is wicked

[Squirrel9901]

i saw a C-17 at RAAF Amberley doing an 80 degree turn on base...

[mikefly562]

@Squirrel9901 I was actually in a c-17 near 90 degress in a decending profile during testing....amazing what these planes can do.

[Squirrel9908]

@mikefly562 I wouldnt be surprised if it was 90 degrees, I was on an angle to the runway so it might have been

[goover78]

that bankangle and heigt reminds me of that b-52 that crash somewhere in the nighties. Cool video though

[BarossaValleyMan]

@goover78 haha yea that reminds me too

[TheGTOProductions]

it almost looks like its doing a wing tip

nice video

[AKCzech555]

They have flown lower at my airport in Homer, Alaska!

[aescobar32]

yes, when they are landing

[naniwaikoloa]

And this is what the idiot government wants to start doing over the entire Big Island of Hawai'i-- fly from the north shore to the southern tip at 300 (yeah, 300) feet for some screwy training program. Do they think those of us living there are deaf & won't be impacted??? Just totally crazy.

[x40ozkillavmix]

why yes, what a horrible idea... planes flying over people. i'm sure its never happened before in hawaii, especially nowhere near airports

it's called a training mission for a reason genius. i'm glad someone's off their ass training for us instead of complaining

[CrazedMachine]

wtf are you talking about? Yes its "totally crazy"

[naniwaikoloa]

Tell ya what crazedmachine, you come live where they'll fly C17's over your house at 300 ft. This isn't by some airport or in an existing noise cone. They want to fly over land on the island where people have lived for generations. Never mind they've already bombed out an entire island in the chain that will never be inhabitable again. Why can't they just continue to use that site instead of destroying yet another island??

[CrazedMachine]

I will thouroughly enjoy it actually. Considering I live for airpower and I hope to be flying these things :)Actually I have F15's flyin' over my house from Mtn. Home AFB and I have regular aircraft traffic flyin' in to Boise. So its all good just chill.

[ilikepiepiealways]

scary

[vball2tall]

That was AMAZING!

[mikes7786]

ive been watching these c17 circle over dayton ohio. they are so cool to watch.
