It is fun flying in one of these babies. I have been in it a bunch of times going to and from various deployments. We had an amazing combat landing into Baghdad. This plane is so agile! It also is a great flying hospital too! I was medevac'd out of Iraq in a C-17. I was very well taken care of. There were about 30 of us some of which were in the planes version of an ICU. Amazing stuff.

Built and delivered out of Long Beach CA. Fight tests were done at Edwards Air Force Base and out over the Pacific in and area called W291. Landing/ takeoffs in dirt/gravel runways, Backing up, low level cargo and troops drops. Standing water takeoffs / landings, Hard landings, aborted takeoffs, air refueling, stall overs, engine flameout and relights, etc.. Best cargo aircraft ever built. To bad McDonnell Douglas didn't make a commercial version.

Smooth flying. Two very subtle but precise pitch adjustments during the second segment climb. Roll commands were small enough to prevent large spoiler deflection. Nice job.

love it! big beautiful plane the sound of those jet engines is awesome when you're flying those big beautiful machines God be with you!

Very nice Vid work. I'm fortunate that I live in a city with an MCAS base. I get to see these and other great aircraft take off and land every day.

These thing make you feel very small, especially when they're 30 feet above you gliding in for a landing at what seems to be 20 knots!
