This C-17 landed at the small commuter airport (TPF - Peter O'Knight airport) just south of downtown on Davis Islands, in Tampa instead of Mac Dill AFB.
Take a look at the two airports on on Google maps.The runways are lined up closely enough that this is not the first time that a military "heavy", has set up for final approach from the east before an "oh shoot" moment when they realized that there are no private homes along the runway at MacDill AFB, (who's runway is long enough to be designated an alternative for the space shuttle).
When I was shooting news in Tampa, I shot the departure of a Brazilian C-130 who did the same thing.
This ought to be a great story for this pilot's, great, great, grand children!
Here is the link to the landing video shot by Ryan, one of the pilots trapped at the airport all day till this take off:

Also, they backed the tail of the C17 over the water in the channel before takeoff!
Thanks for visiting thewebbworks on RUclips.
Globemaster lands where ever it wishes. Globemaster don't a give fuck.

It had a fuck to give in 1990, but it flew away in 1991.
+Angry Whale lmao LOL
+Im a Fox They didn't land at the wrong air field....They were just sick and tired of all the people hating on the plane saying it couldn't take off in 3500 so they did it just to prove they could.

I can just imagine the other C17 crew doing the flyby,.. sneering and giggling at these guys!

You know who bought the beer that night.
C-17 Flight #2: Look at those jamones down there. Hey Flight Lead, smile and say cheese for the Camera. See you at the base losers.
C-17 Flight Lead: -.- .....
I thought they were going to land to join the first one.
Doubtful they laughed
You know the C-17 is a very very special plane. The fact it can take off within 2000 feet and land within that range is unique. Especially for its size
I saw one yesterday flying very low over the base access road - and it took off from a reasonably small airfield that isn't set up for that kind of big bird..........yet there she was.
4 Pratt & Whitney PW2000 at full power, - with no cargo load and ...maybe... 20 % fuel on board.
Bonus, aircraft was specifically designed from the beginning to work on improvised air strips.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do suspect, however - that the pilot who landed that C-17 at a private plane airport - will be regularly reminded all about it by all of their Air Force buddies.
@@agwhitaker -- A massive plane with skilled pilots..........a great combination!
That runway is something like 3000 feet.
@@agwhitakerGeneral Mattis was aboard when they landed and put in a good word for the crew.
The second C-17 came flying over just to boast and fuck around with the C-17 crew on the ground.
C-17's are specifically designed just like C-130's to land in austere unforgiving short strips of land so taking off from a 3,500 ft strip is plenty of space for this versatile beast of an aircraft!
Correct, I was with the 452nd AMW, unless you witness what this machine is capable of on a regular basis, you just get flabbergasted when one sees it for the first time.

@@timmackey2896 people tend to forget that this thing is usally carrying around heavy loads as well. If it couldnt take off in a short distance when it is low fuel and without cargo, it would be rather useless once you put cargo and fuel in.
That's the same pilot that dropped us off in Tajikastan instead of Afghanistan..,that was a long walk to Kabul!

Hugh Mungus How are you lately? it's been a while. Globetrotter is pretty bad ass, the Globemaster don't ordinarily give a damn.
Someone is now a Civilian.
Well it's sort of curious but there is in fact a lot of leeway in the military - particularly in the Air Force - for this sort of minor error in judgment. The pilot did not do anything reckless, dangerous or stupid, and managed to make his getaway with no fuss either. I tend to think this will be quietly overlooked by his superiors.
Also enjoyed seeing that big bird scramble to get airborne. Nice.
Thanks for uploading it.
***** I saw that the C-17 was from McGuire AFB. Worked Avionics on the "old", C-141A's & B's, at McGuire, both as a G.I. and as a Civil Servant. Retired from McGuire, a "hundred years ago!" Never worked the C-17 as it didn't come on line until after I retired.
I agree with you - they were probably reprimanded - that would about do it. Haven't read the Incident Report, but they may have accepted a "visual" approach and told the tower (at McDill) that they had the "field in sight", and pressed on for the landing. Even if that was their first trip to McDill, from McGuire, you would think, when they looked out of the window, that the field seemed "a bit too small." Having flown for over 30 years, myself, I've almost headed for the wrong field - sometimes tough to discern when they are fairly close together. If the chart has the field going E to W, and you see a runway going N and S. You better fall back and regroup! They made it OK; that's the important thing.
Good info. I wouldnt know. Never served to see what its like.
@@8645-l4v proof? why should they loose wings? They did not done anything bad to loose wings.
They spend over 11 million dollars to train our Pilots he might get a reprimand but that's about it
I've been a loadmaster on this aircraft for 7 years now and videos like this still make me go from six to midnight! Love my plane!
i love this plane too.
@@andrewamarazoff225 -- You see them flying and it appears as if they can't even stay in the air - until you see them actually perform under stress.
This is not a video of a C-17 landing at a commuter airport by accident.
This is a video of a C-17 taking off from a commuter airport deliberately.
Ummm. No
My Navigation-teacher used to say. Take-off is always an option, landing isn't..
LOL
It's true, I saw it in the news. Dunno what the pilot was thinking, but he did land at the wrong airport by mistake.
Okay okay i understand the joke😂😂
All the people here are so lucky to see this. Damn beautiful plane doing a beautiful takeoff. And the sound of those engines. Pure Music!
Carlos Fernandez Music to my ears is right. In the best of a bad situation, the pilot made a beautiful landing and takeoff.
The sound of those engines - that's the sound of FREEDOM!
These fly over my house every month
The nicest thing about the C-17 is that it doesn't give a f*cking shit about the lenght of the runway, it'll take off no matter what
It has to, it's pilots can't read they're charts!
No. Don't be tempted to try it. They may have almost emptied the fuel, and cargo to do that.
@@johnwilliamson2276 but they do have superior education to know the difference between "their" and "they're" charts!
@@jaishetty8586 I’m a 2T251 logistics guy in the Air Force. Been working on C17s and C5s for 11 years. I can almost guarantee you that the C17 still had freight inside it, be it palletized cargo or RS (rolling stock). Doesn’t make much of a difference. The only time you’ll see a C17 struggle to take off is at high altitude airports when it’s carrying 40-60k armored vehicles strapped to its cargo floor via GBUs.
@Anglo Saxon 😂😂🇬🇧
Co-Pilot: Uhh, sir I don't think this is the Air Force Base.... Pilot: Shut up, it's a short cut.
Certainly a faster way to the pub.
RangersLeadTheWay23 RBLX He said ...... look dude , do you wanna be on RUclips or not !!!
lol I could see the pilot looking at the co pilot and say I bet you so much money that we will be on youtube really fast

And his next duty assignment was to pick up cigarette butts in front of the headquarters building...
I can never get tired of watching this aircraft take off. It's so large, and you think it is going way too slow. And then, it just lifts off like it's an ultra-light.
That damn thing is a monster!

Thas a big fucking plane. Sometimes you gotta wojder how something so big and so heavy can fly. LOL I love technology.
Thanks for the suggestion
Kingrex16 Look through the open cargo bay of either this aircraft or the C5 Galaxy from forward to aft and you will see just how slim the fuselage is. It is the engines that are so massive and heavy that provide the thrust.
Hugh Lusignan I thought it was because the pilot and the crew were flapping their arms like crazy.

It did a great job at cleaning the airstrip!
it could have damaged its engines with the revers thrust pushback
@@emmanuelyemoh2040 ahh yeah no, not really.
Well these C-17's were designed to land on short runways and dirt runways like its cousin the C-130
Now that's some impressive engineering
Thank you!!
When I was overseas I had chance take off in one of these and I can tell you people underestimate them they are huge but they can take off in alot less of space than people think it's amazing
Well they are considered STOL aircraft.....
@@sapperstang l
I thought t they were huge then I saw the C-5 and I was like holy crap that’s a lot bigger. Then you see the C-17 side by side with the C-5 and it really puts things into perspective making the C-17 look like a Cessna
A really high lift wing and gobs and gobs of thrust can really shorten your takeoff roll :D
Most aircraft can take off on shorter runways if they absolutely have to. The published limits are just what's recommended for safe operation (which is obviously the first priority).
WTF those engines are shaking on ground 0:41
psypdn more like those engines are shaking the ground lol
How this large thing gets itself off the earth at that crawling speed is INCREDIBLE.
It's not crawling its just so damn big it looks like it is lmao. Thing is hauling serious ass.
Yeah, it was so nice to see this USAF Heavy Compact Aircraft take of. They build up the engine power and held on to their brakes for a certain amount of "power build up". Then they released and went rolling down the runway to lift off.
Secondly, I have been apart of that type of flying since working in the commercial. There several airports that can handle a medium size aircraft on a not so long runway. I remember the John Wayne. Orange County Airport is a short long enough runway for a medium size 757-200. We do the same maneuver on that runway. And so do the other airline as well. And the pilots always come on the PA to let the passengers know what we are about to do for take off. It felt so different when we have to do that procedure. Also, many of the neighborhoods surrounding this small I to medium size airports may have a noise restriction there as well. Aircraft have to get up fast over those areas not to make so much noise.
All the Air Force pilots are like fuck him he gotta it there, he gets it outta there too!
+Ruben Delgadillo Apparently, a test pilot was brought in to fly the C-17 out as the "normal" crew was not comfortable flying it out with little or no runway to spare.
+Ruben Delgadillo Yep, those test pilots are pretty damn good at what they do. They certainly practice for almost every messed up scenario.
Hmm... I'm not so sure about it being an accident. Something must have been wrong with the craft. In the description, you said both the C-130 and C-17 took off at the same point on the runway. Meaning the runway could be used in a emergency landing zone for those aircrafts. I see a lot of emergency vehicles out there like something is wrong with the plane. Trained Air Force pilots with an aircraft packed with high-tech navigational equipment don't just land someplace and go "Yay we're......... waaaaaait..... this isn't right...."
But still, great video, that is an awesome bird :)
Agreed. So basically they landed on a runway with ZERO clearance from ATC?
Aaaaaand youre wrong
spoofer20 ?
take it for what it's worth, but c17 pilots don't have a navigator on board. it's 2 pilots up there on the flight deck. also, i've heard that this airport doesn't fly with a radio tower, so likely they were in contact with mcdill ATC and then their nav system was zoomed out a little too far and they hit the wrong runway. but that's just my guess. a c17 wouldn't land on a 1000 yard airstrip if it could help it. even in an emergency, imo.
Arnoldo Offermann I don't know if you later found out about it or not, but the small airstrip that the C-17 landed at has no ATC. They have some name for that kind of airstrip but basically it's up to you to communicate with the pilots and to use line of sight to determine if you can land or not.
I want to be a pilot of the c-17, is it possible to do so if your a lady???
Yes!
+thewebbworks ok thanks
+superpower sink ☺
There quite a few woman pilots in the Air Force!!! Follow your dreams!!!
That's why planes still crash.
This should be titled, "C-17 takes off from small commuter airport on purpose"
And the other C-17 was not going to land there. The military field is only a few miles away, and the runways are closely aligned.
Rumor has it they've never had to sweep that airstrip again.
I live 1 mile from the afb nellis in las vegas nv and those c17 are impressive, did you see the power oh those turbines WOW.
I respect the Americans for what they have accomplished!!!!!!!! :-)
Actually the majority of airports/airfields have no tower. They have too few landing/takeoffs to warrant a tower or are in controlled airspace such as this field. Pilots follow procedure and use assigned radio frequencies to coordinate movement. It's very common. Many have lights that turn on and off by radio signal from inbound/outbound aircraft.
Air Force ROCKS!...........no mission to small (or airport i guess)...............lol.........good job men.............
This sends chills down my spine every time I watch it SO Friggn Amazing, I flew in a C17 in Iraq and WOW what an E ticket
Did anyone notice the water vapor funnel being shown at 37 secs ?
That looks pretty familiar. Doesn't wikipedia have a picture of that exact frame?
On the number 1 engine, if anyone asks where.
@
Pan- No, the wikipedia article shows a C-17 with a vortex on the no. 3 engine
Yes, i thought it was FOD and waited for a 'PUFF' or a 'BANG' then saw similar in number two.
C17s are the 4 wheel drive of all airplanes. They are specially designed to land and takeoff in short, gravel, dirt, sandy runways. Quite a show for those who witnessed it first hand at this small airport. I'm quite jealous to be honest. American ARMY will never ceased to amaze me. Roby Miner from Mauritius Island 🏝
Why did you speed up the reversing? That in itself is a show!
They land C-5A's in Reading, Pa. This little thing would make it out of a bathtub!
Is it normal for them to reverse using the reversals? Health wise does it effect the engines?
These things are built to land and take off on short runways
Nope
@@freeq1164 why no, this plane can land anywhere
I would like to know what happened to the pilot who couldn't tell the difference between a commuter airport and a military base.
That pilots day did not end until he was standing before his commanders desk at the rigid position of attention trying to explain why he couldn't put his airplane on the correct runway!
Which was all the way back up here in NJ McQuire AFB.
...and the pilot said to the commander, "Sir, it seemed like the right thing to do at the time."
Pilot will be having an interview without coffee from his CO then........
Pilot had one job only...
It was not by accident. The USAF, used/chose/picked, this airport to simply show the amazing short-takeoff and landing capability of such a plane. Only hysterical news media, reported it as a "Mistake," "Accident," and "Error."
You’d be surprised to see some of the places those get in and out of.... smaller than that airport even...:
I was on one of these out of Balad with nothing but passengers. Even without a window to look out of, you knew the speed just by the feeling. It's a muscle car of a cargo plane.
Loved every second of this. The turbines roaring at 0:57 was just majestic
"Majestic"
The sight that must have caused landing haha
I love how he just casually backs the thing up.... pauses, and just guns it into the sky lol. Gotta love the badass STOL take off C-17's can do
Big Bastard.... But they were made to land/take off from unimproved and shot runways.
Takeoff time: 18 seconds, what a powerful engines!
that is a mighty impressive take off and landing. its pretty awesome to know that our air force has that kind of capability.
Now China and the Taliban has it all thank's to Bejing Biden & the Democraps !
If that was a C-5 it would be on permanent static display.
John Guerrera maybe and maybe not i seen a c5 super galaxy take off in unbelievably short distance. Awesome sight to say the least
Lol the problem would be getting it to actually land first
Perhaps it could take off in a 100kt headwind but until then, yeah a static display lol.
that was just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
I learned something today... A big as plain has a reverse option.
Original_NoLifeGamer its reverse thrust mainly used for reversing the Air to slow the plane down during landings. In this case the C17 can use it to revert hehe.
That's the Young Men or Woman of the United States Air Force. Trained to land in your back yard!
Yeah, you need to admit if the runway is actually as small as they're making it out to be, the landing must've been impressive!
that is nothing short of impressive
oh god the chewing out the crew must have received after that
even drew news crews there, fuck I feel bad for them lol
Believe it or not, while it's a major oops, it's an understandable mistake. And it's a bit over hyped, the C17 is designed to fly combat conditions on runways that small. And, because the runways are the same heading, it's a huge mistake that the pilot is going to have to live with when it comes to crap talking from other pilots for the rest of his career but something the Air force is likely going to brush aside yet make it apart of new safety briefings hahahahaha.
For it to take off in such a short distance it must have some beastly engines... anyone know what engines it runs on?
Ayush Aripirala there call classified 😂
glad it didnt rip the runway apart
sorry, did i miss the landing, all i saw was the take off!!
this footage was taken the day after the original pilot landed at Peter O Knight. His commander was the one who came to the airport to take the plane back to MacDill.
$220M aircraft....somebody is going to the principal's office to explain what happened
Most likely his punishment was "Go back over there and replace all the runway lights you blew out on take off!" (There's a few hundred...)
to quote a line from top gun "that pilot will be flying rubber dog doo doo out of Hong Kong"
i give that guy masive fucking props for that shiz!
Pilot is promoted. No need to further prove c17
They can do what they were built for for sure.
to give everyone context, this is in tampa, and the airport they landed at is directly in line with runway 09 at macdill. This is runway 09 at peter o knight. it's actually not too hard to mistake one approach for another, as they are very close together, and on the exact same flight path, literally lined up to within feet of each other as far as the final approach lineup.
Neither TPF or MacDill have a Runway 9. MacDill is 05/23. TPF is either 04/22 or 18/36

According to the specs, those are Pratt & Whitney F117-PW-100 turbofan engines, each one producing in excess of 40,000 pounds of thrust. So you're looking at roughly 80 tons of thrust being used to get that bird off the ground as fast as it can.
That's one way to show off its capabilities!

Is that a new meme?
Adverts should never become memes.
I think Ollie Williams said it best.
"I'm at the wrong airport!"
ho boy... just imagining the conversation that pilot had with his CO afterward. It would not be a pretty sight.
The C-17 is designed to operate from runways as short as 3,500 ft (1,100 m) and as narrow as 90 ft (27 m). In addition, the C-17 can operate from unpaved, unimproved runways (although with greater chance of damage to the aircraft).
Well, that runway is only 1,038 m long ^^
Seiniger and yet it got up faster than pretty much any GA bird using half the damn runway lmao

What's the big deal everyone makes mistakes.
It's not much of a big deal for people who has the correct information and actually understood what happened, but for the people who don't, it's quite a big deal. A military aircraft making a wrong landing at a private airport with a tiny landing strip tends to attract attention.
…..tHE c17 WAS BUILT TO BE ABLE TO LAND AND TAKE OFF FROM SHORT AIRSTRIPS,EVEN WHEN FULLY LOADED...lOL…;-)…...
Everybody is saying Boeing. That plane was designed and manufactured at Douglas aircraft, Long Beach!!! It became a Boeing when they bought Douglas.
This is awesome!! I love love love the sound when the engines were fully revved
I love how it throws all that dirt around :D
Short takeoff capability save the day
Incredibly stupid and unprofessional for Pilots of the so-called best Armed forces of the world.
Having spent my self decades in Aviation, such a thing is not excusable unless there was an emergency reason.
Ok boomer
You're welcome America. Sleep well tonight knowing that your military is out there working. And no I'm not making a joke. Air Force veteran.......
Mini vortex on the far right engine 0:35
Good catch
+Jhawkmarine ? thats significant?
+mainlymusicman well im mean it's kinda cool
+Jhawkmarine What about noticing what looks like reverse flow combustion happening just after on the engine no.2? Surely that's significant. I hope that isn't what I'm seeing, although I suppose those military spec engines are over-engineered to cope.
Yes, it's significant for the connoisseurs. Learn how a tornado works and you'll figure it out. Remember, hot air at ground level and cooler air plus wind in upper part?
Boeing my friends ... Boeing !!!
I bet that pilot got a promotion.
***** Yeah I commented on that video too lol
KTPF is not a commuter airport. It's a small GA airport on a little island.
I wonder if it was the same pilot that landed there. I can just imagine the pilot's superiors:
Squadron Leader - "You put it there... You are going to get it out!!"
Pilot - "Yes Sir."
... there goes your tarmac.
+raykupal Lol yeah. They are deigned to hold 4,000 pound Cessnas and 15,000 pound private jets, not 300,000 pound C17's LOL.
+raykupal My thought exactly... Looking up the runway information on airnav.com, lists the weight bearing capacity as single wheel: 20.0 (thousand pounds). I wonder what kind of resurfacing was required after this incident.
What a beast of a plane!!
The thing is fast
So basically a john wayne takeoff. Easy enough.
this plane was designed from ground up to be able to do this exact thing, also while carrying a fuckin tank.
Love how they can throw it in "R" and back up
+crissy214 Reverse thrust with the jet engines, passenger jets does it too.
HikerBikerDude1953 no they don’t they have pushbacks. i mean I guess they can but that’s just wasting fuel
@@gavcom4060 not about fuel but about the risk of ingesting objects into the engines
Jets with engines under the wings actually aren’t allowed to use reverse thrust at the gates because they can suck in objects or staff jets with engines by the tail or higher up can reverse thrust if they want to though they normally just get a tug as it’s easier and they make less wind/noise at the gates.
