Amazing short take-off. A key feature of this aircraft.

It is easier to use in evasive maneuvers. It is a "Tactical" aircraft, much like a fighter.

Beautiful plane. Visually and technically.

Don't waste your time because many of these losers have NO idea what a leap in technology this cargo jet is!

the b-52 would still do bettter then just this plane droping bombs

I hope a B-52 is better at dropping bombs. The C-17 was never designed to drop bombs. Its a cargo plane.

like what? Besides speed it does not have much else.

Its a he not a she!

3:17 what is that coming out of the engine?

The enging is at a high power and is sucking up the moisture on the ground. It does it in vorticies like a tornado.
