C-17 Reverse Thrust!

This video was taken at the Vectren Dayton Airshow back in 2008. I was almost knocked backwards when this C-17 Globemaster III unleashed the power of its F117 PW-100 engines in full reverse!

Thank GOD Civil Air Patrol was on-scene to guard the airplane. Now they have a new story for their airsoft teams.

U kidding me or anyone else, this is one boring! vid with little or nothing else goin-on.lt sort of completely kills off every interest in anything else from the waiting in anticipation (tho' in this, absolutely not looking for an accident to happen,in that sense) but rather some sort of other subsequent action from everyone or thing there.Evn engine noise stays constant,not evn picking-up its revvs(revolution/spin).

@snedie69er It was an airshow at the Dayton airport. This 17 was open on static display then closed up and flew the demo. Airshows are freakin nightmares for military demo teams/displays. Not everyone knows safe distances from a running motor but the driver should have had common sense.

@deadblock3 Most planes can - They have reverse thrusters which takes the power of the engine and sends it in the oposite direction making the aircraft move back.

[snedie69er]

As if that truck just drove behind a live air craft, I take it this military base has slack protocols in place?

[deadblock3]

All aeroplane can't going reversre but this plane can. How?

Who let those CAP cadets near an AF aircraft that is running and moving. Plus no ear protection? Their moron commanding officer should be put up on charges for endangering those cadets...
