C-17 taking off in Antarctica

[JoshTehVideoMaker]

why am i seeing this just now in 2011

[lagster11]

I have a C-17 Globalmaster III and i live in Canada soo during the winter i fired it up in the snow and cold it melted the snow around it and i eventualy got it to take off and i flew it for about an hour then i chose to land it...as its coming in to land it hits the ground and just plows into the snow and get barried...most awsome yet sucky thing ever...

@lagster11 You have a C-17?

[deaftodd]

@Mavrickr I think the pilot has the C-17 not the cameraman.

[Mavrickr]

@deaftodd So he has a C-17 entitled to his name?

[newcoyote]

It can't take off. Think about it. It is at the bottom of the Earth ergo the entire Earth is on top of it. Duh.

AntarcticcFilms: It was filmed at Pegasus runway near McMurdo station on the Ross Ice Shelf. It's the only place the C-17 lands

@york2600 Actually it's not the only place. There are a small handful. That is a mcchord jet, i'm stationed there,and i've been to other places than that in antarctica.

where exactly is the "taking off" part?

[realbiggun500]

thanks for showing this video its very cool, antarctic vids are always nice

[AntarcticcFilms]

Stevorich when was this filmed?

[MinkOWar]

Technically, this is a video of a C-17 not-taking-off-yet.

[stevorich]

It would have been taking off in the video if my cam didn't cut out. So how about it's a "C-17 accelerating for takeoff"?

[MinkOWar]

I suppose that's allowable. Mine is less sane though. And I don't see what yours has to do with picnic tables at all.
