Nice landing by the Globemaster!

[@michaelsteiger8509]

C-17 uses “reverse thrusters”. WTF…. No. It used reverse thrust……. There are no “thrusters”. The C-17 is not a space craft.

[@ingmarlind1500]

Concentrating on the elevator rudder (in vain), forgetting his side rudder and forgetting the "air"/wheel-brakes until he's bounced out un the spinach...
His instructor did not sleep well that night.

[@DB-thats-me]

Globemaster didn’t have a reversing alert beeper! 😳

[@oldtimer2192]

Probably taped over like most equipment on a construction site lol!

[@gazratjackson]

Fat Chicks at Walmart don't have one either,
Butt they should

[@KlingbergWingMkII]

Glider did not crash! That was just a rough arrival.

[@hughrexon900]

Yeah that glider was bad, so much over controlling the pitch, yet nothing on the rudder. Should have gone around 😉

[@mattfgln]

😂😂

[@yvetteandjorgenlarsen9753]

I think gliders are really scary. Glad you're giving the guy a break

[@michaelrussell5346]

Gliders don’t go round. They do,however,have very efficient air brakes that this pilot has obviously forgotten about

[@jonathanparle8429]

What the heck? It's like they've never flown any aircraft at all before.

[@Swaggerlot]

Classic PIO, poor training or currency.

[@H-TownFlights]

That glider is recreating history if ykyk

[@AviatorRichy]

ikik fedex flight 80

[@jackfrost3573]

I fly Gliders and it is obvious that pilot does not. He got into a PIO? and just panicked and let the plane fly him. Some left rudder would have gone a long way?

[@Harm10412]

Main issue were the breaks, though (our lack thereof).

[@mchurch3905]

Pilot induced damage….

[@scottw550]

Not my fault, I had a sneezing fit.

[@u2bear377]

Oh they do like powerbacks...
