Thanks for this. I work at SEA airport and saw a C17 takeoff yesterday but was only able to see it a few seconds after rotation. This video helps me visualize the rest of what I missed.
My neighbour at "the cottage" was a C 117 load master. Once showed me a photo of what it looks like from inside when the decoy flares were used. He used to fly over our cottages with the ramp open. I asked if he could arrange a flare show sometime. He'd be happy too, but they're not allowed to fly over Canada with them installed. I offered to provide a credible threat. Didn't go over well.
Would appreciate if you would indicate the full date your videos were filmed. You sometimes just show the month, as in this one, but not the actual day.
Just a suggestion to make the info on the video more complete, especially if you want to follow up on other aircraft in the video or look for routing details etc. Easier to do if you know the actual date of the video and not just the month.

How many miles to the quart does that thing use?
💗C-17 💗
Nice. Great job Alex. Thanks for these videos. Have you ever flown on an A380?
Nice!
Do you know what it dropped off or picked up besides fuel?
SMART MAN
Nice engine smoke !!
If this was the Fast and Furious movie, that plane would have taken 10 minutes to take off!!
It looks like old radial piston engines!
It's a little off topic but do you know who's boeing B737-200 is parked behind ?
Alex Derome It is an old WestJet plane donated to a local college
Why smoke?

You just love to nitpick don’t you

4:48 the pilots noticed you
What is it burning? Vegetable oil?
I'm guessing it's pooled oil but idk what causes all that smoke
U CAN FILM CLOSE...
