A little more flare there next time guy!
One of the cool things about C-17’s is that they don’t have to flare. They put eighteen tires on the mains so the plane can purposely make a hard landing that dissipates much of its momentum, allowing it to stop on fairly short runways. At Grant County International, the C-17’s constantly practice short field landings on a runway that’s just 3500 feet long!
I like how even though I deleted my jameshandsome blog four months ago, this picture with my comment on it still gets reblogged and occasionally shows up on my dash.
