Finally! A video of a real aircraft and not some lame FSX/virtual reality mash-up that's uploaded as if it's footage of the real thing. Thank you for posting this.
Good to see all the positive comments on this video. Lt Mike Poe is my brother and I am very proud of what he and his fellow military men and women do for us. Thank you for posting this video
Hey thanks to who posted this! Haha I'm the plane captain to this aircraft! Crazy to see a video I didn't even know was out there! Anyways nice video lol
We always start up Engine #2 (the right side) first, because it powers the primary hydraulic systems (Flight Controls, Brakes, Anti-Skid, Nose Wheel Steering, Wheel retraction/extension, and Catapault system).
Aaron, the right starts before left. If you look closely you can verify the right engine startup first as you see the exhaust from the right engine. As the left starts, you'll start to see exhaust from left engine. Also the airman assisting preflight checks was observing as each engine started.
What a beast...

Right engine powers the hydraulics... it comes up second. That's when you see the Leading/trailing edge flaps come up. He cycles em shortly after.
