C17's are one of my favorite planes. We have a bunch at McChord AFB near where I live. If Boeing/MD can make a cargo plane this good, imaging what their new tanker will be like!

Wow, love the reverse thrust. They proably wouldent do that now, for safety reasons. Thanks for uploading

[AV8R4HM]

We do it on a daily basis.

I was talking more about if a C-17 was in that close proximity to the crowd, if they would still use reverse thrust.

[AV8R4HM]

Oh, I understand. We actually did it a few weeks ago at an airshow in Watsonville Ca on May 25th. We backed up near the crowd.

[airshow4444]
