That’s my airplane!!! I was a Crew Chief on that very aircraft when I was in the 172nd Air Guard Unit in Jackson, MS. I was there when that aircraft was new and first arrived at the base. Great to see it out flying doing such a cool takeoff from such a short runway.
That's Saint Mar😮airport.. thought that looked familiar. A lady was killed watching an airplane take off. Didn't know military aircraft used that as well.
That's a cool catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this takeoff in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
I imagine 2:06 the MS. ANG bird "broke" in flight with the only diversion airport available being St. Maarten...it could happen. We "broke" in Hawaii one time...took 3 days to get the right parts flown in to "fix" it !!!
We had an Albatross hole the hull in Labrador The mechanics sent to fix it like our food better than Goose Bay and milked the job for months til the bay froze over and they could take off on top of the ice

Thank you for your service!
I get fly overs from C-17's almost 3 times a week from YARS to PittARS. Badass Planes!
Thank you for your Service ❤ I pray life is treating you well 🙏🙏💖
That runway is over 8000 ft. long.
you Sir are a legend for this 🫡🤘🇺🇸
You was a crew chief for the C-17? Did you go to McChord or Charleston after Sheppard AFB?
Hardly a "mind blowing takeoff". Whoever filmed this was more interested in the spectators than the takeoff.
... and doesn't know how to take a video ! Swinging back & forth, he missed the initial takeoff run. His clip gives me a headache.
Right…. The title is annoying if that’s not what’s being shown smh 🤦🏾♂️
always one hanging on for dear life...
The pilot had mercy on the beachgoers. Many of the planes are usually closer to the end of the runway.
Fortunately that plane can take off with the limited runway length
Been there, great place to watch landings and takeoffs. Sunsets bar is right there too. Love it!
Must be tough, to be stationed in paradise. I highly recommend visiting. It's fabulous!
The guy in the white hat seems to be taking pictures of the girls and ignores the C-17
Eww that's gross
Meh, that was a standard right turn take off. Not even close to its max capabilities.

Those are REALLY powerful engines...not a good idea to stand behind at full-power.
That tadpole gripping the fence thought he could ride through the thrust of a heavy lift military transport; he thought wrong...🤨😏🤔🤭...
I think he sprained an ankle on that one
Maho Beach. The planes come so close to the beach when landing and feeling the jet blast is what tourists ho for. It was awesome
my man in the white, bracing for it like Naruto fighting the end boss 😂😂😂
Cool jet blast but you totally missed the takeoff 🤭
Would have been a nice video until the camera was sandblasted.
Dude next time get a tripod and keep still.
Camera dude had one simple job and he FAILED spectacularly!🤔
Beach goers: thank you for your service 🫡
SHOULD Have kept the camera on the JET TAKING OFF NOT the few spectators who were going to get wet. Poor topic selection.
Possibly protecting the camera lense from being sand blasted???
2:20 that one person is ready to withstand the jet blast from the C-17
Well, it MIGHT have been “mind blowing” if the plane had taken off TOWARD you. Basically it was just a few people pointing cameras at a plane.
How does this have upvotes
The guy in the white tee shirt, did a credit card fall from his pocket ??
Perhaps MythBusters could use your video to prove the Afghanistan withdrawal video is not plausible.

more body blowing than mind blowing
Its carrying casket arround the world
Why is ther only one comment
We're working on it....
I watched it life
They Go!
Why was US air force in St.Maarten?
Vacationing
I'm not really interested in the idiots trying to ride the fence!! I would much rather see the C-17!!!
Hi Workerbee WHY😂😂😂😂
Not a "mind blowing takeoff" Clickbait... It takes off the same as any other large jet aircraft.
Well, I guess you had to be there.
Video starts at 2:40
Hold the camera still!!!!!!
Goofballs standing right behind it
Clickbait!
Horrible photography, moving all over, not good

Botched the entire take off. Could not stay on target.

If it's at a military base it's cool, if a military aircraft is at a public airport then there is a problem. 🤔
Fr fr 🤔
@@Ccyawn123 frfr, what the hell does that mean? Speak up man!
Never heard of Sint Maarten Airport or Maho Beach ? And why suddenly it's a problem if it's civillian ?
