I live across the road from a US Naval Air Station, where we see F/A-18's and P-3 Orions' almost daily. But we get C-17's visiting on occasion. You can't miss 'em because the engines are loud, they whine like a whistle. And the sound hangs in the air for a long time as they float across the sky in slow motion. It's really fascinating to watch a military transport jet move. Their high lift dynamics make them quite different than most other planes.

@AceDoubleG It's static electricity going off. The aircraft generates A LOT of static electricity. I have heard of crew chiefs being thrown 10 feet by just touching the aircraft after it has landed. That's why we use tie-down cords to ground it so the electricity is safely discharged. Keep in mind, I am still in tech school for C17 so this is just a guess from what I know. I might be wrong.

@AceDoubleG I think is like a small "tornado" from the engine spin. Never seen it though.

Austrailia didn't have these planes by 2008 I think.

This vid was taken March 2007, The aircraft in vid was a USAF C-17, There was a RAAF C-17 on display at the same airshow. So yes, RAAF did in fact have at least one C-17 by March 2007 that is nine months before 2008, I think.

Believe it or not, most people don't know this. All planes have reverse thrusters to stop. I load these things. They are huge and can hold lots of weight. According to a crew chief of one C-17 I loaded, 1 engine runs about 75,000 pounds of thrust. These are what I call a fighter-cargo plane because its agile like a fighter and can carry loads like no other.

Believe it or not, most people don't know this. Not all planes have reverse thrusters to stop. eg., DC-3, F-14, A-10,F-15, F-16,F-18 and many others have no reverse thrusters. In fact many of these rely on Spoilers, Air brakes and Wheel brakes
