    I remember outprocessing from Kelly AFB,TX a few days after loading a belly full of 30mm ammo in a C-5, going to the desert as part of Desert Shield. That thing had to use almost the entire runway take off. I watched in amazement as that behemoth took off. Then, while i was watching the lift off, the front, left nose gear tire came off n bounced down the runway!! I kid you not!! I ran down to OPS and they already knew about it. They had to let it continue the take off. They came back around in about 20 minutes doing a low n slow flyby so everyone could see it n determine what to do. They decided to go out over the Gulf of Mexico n dump some fuel. About two hours later, it came back in for a landing. The pilot rode that thing with the nose gear up off the runway for just about the entire length of the runway. He gently let it down and was able to exit the runway with no other damage. One of the most amazing things I'd ever seen.
    Id hate to be the guy/gal who signed off that the wheels were securely fastened...

I know Hydraulic fluid when I see it, and I saw it running down the inside fuselage wall near where I was sitting. I pointed it out to the one of the flight crew as he walked by and he said for me not to worry. They have plenty more on board if it's needed. Ya, that made me feel good.

    C-17 is such a beautiful big ass beast. I love seeing them with the C-5 in tandem flight.

    I flew in these a few times when I was in the military. They feel like a funnycar with the amount of power it has, you also need ear plugs inside also because its loud. Even when you are flying they can hit the throttle and it will throw you in the seat.

    I see that exact plane kinda often. The flags on the tail are the star spangled banner and the palmetto flag. Palmetto flag is South Carolina and I live in the town they’re based out of. In fact, they fly over my house regularly
