The 305th AMW provided a C-17 demonstration during the 2008 McGuire AFB airshow. The jet lifted off from the taxiway in front of the crowd and proceeded to do things not often seen with aircraft weighing 400,000lbs. Watch for the tactical landing and reverse thrust bow at the end of the video.
Not at all. I'm merely evidencing the fact that you don't know much about aviation. If you think that a 300,000 pound machine stopping on a dime like that-after performing astounding maneuvers-isn't impressive then you clearly are uninformed.

Then obviously you know little to nothing about aviation.

Doesn't really look that impressive to me.^^

Nice video. Didn't realize how effective its thrust reversers were, but then they'd have to be for such awesome STOL capability on landing.
