Julien (UK) Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Nice Images. Thundergrunt. wake is smaller than you think. The C-17 At Fairford in 97 did a full short field landing (ok was empty) but we were amazed at how little space it used. They then taxiedm turned on the runway which again was great and this a short max take off. One thing I will remember from the stop is the mell from the brakes! they had to fly around for a while with the gear down to cool everything off. In those Pics from 97 you can see a Union Flag flying from the cockpit as the aircraft was actually being flown by an RAF exchange pilot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griff13 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Anyone have any photos of the Edwards C-17s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aim9xray Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Here are the two aircraft at Edwards. First, 87-0025, the first C-17 built... ...and the other test aircraft assigned 03-3121, seen here at a very infrequent Vandenberg Open House In the forward cargo bay was a palletized flight test engineering station. No one would confirm if it was LAPES qualified. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Griff13 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 I would love to see T-1 painted back in the Euro 1 Scheme, and at least one other c-17 painted in the ole white and grey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boats Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Since I retired, I've not been up close to any new aircraft like the C-117, seen a few fly by at over 5000 feet. Just not in the right place to get close to them. So Thank You for the nice photos, maybe some day. "Boats".. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
