Yes....the awesome C-17,showing it's ability to land short and back up! This is a landing the C-130 does with no problem and a landing the C-5 could only dream of doing. Listen to the power changes as he glides in on final.

  • Was this at the Cleveland Air Show?

  • yessir! although it was last year's show

  • Its pretty amazing something that size can land on a runway with only 3500 ft! But I still beleive the C-130 will be better since it can fly of a range between 90 and 350 knots and land at a super tiny airfield.

  • yea but the C-130 cant lift as much as the C-17. It'd be nice if Lockheed puts out a bigger C-130 with a fusaloge length around 145 to 155ft long. Make it a bit wider, more powerful D501s, 5 to 6 blade 15 foot diameter props....man....it'd kick ass!

  • The "Back-up" Would be reverse thrust

  • kinda obvious since the plane's wheels are non-powered. Its still backing up....
