you guys are the best in the world. God bless you and keep you safe. God bless America.
Though a few years late... You Guys Rock! Frm: Retired Army NCO
Tzebra No worries! Thanks for your service, and for stopping by and watching the vid.
Long ago in another life, I flew like this, but over different places. Thank you for this experience, one to bring up the memories. I came here from Sagitarrius and crashed, around 1350 your time.
Jeff Guillotte! I flew many years with his dad! Great Guy!
Awesome! He was awesome to work with as film crew. Very skilled pilot.
Great guy!
I was working at the hospital in Palm Springs when you flew over and a few of us got on the roof to watch. It was amazing. Thank you.
Amy Ann That’s so cool! You definitely got to feel the thunder of the C-17 then. I’m thrilled that this project allows our citizens to see the hard work and focus that goes behind these ceremonial flyover missions (or any other mission for that matter). Thanks for watching and stay healthy and safe out there.
Thank you for all you do and remember the sound of freedom..
That TCAS warning [sure] woke me up.
Thank you for the amazing work, gentlemen.
Outstanding video! Incredible flying! I had no idea of what the flight crews have to do whenever they fly one of these magnificent birds! Outstanding job to my fellow service men of the United States Air Force! You guys rock...from the USMC.
Billy Reynolds Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video. That was my hope that this project would give the public a greater appreciation as to all the behind the scenes coordination that goes into getting this bird in the air. Next time you see a special event C-17 flyover, you’ll know what’s going on in the cockpit and on the ground.
Thank You for Your Service God Bless the U S Air Force
Thanks to all vets for your service and sacrifice and your family's sacrifice, thank you doesn't say enough. I pray you all will be kept safe. 👏🇺🇸
Amazing coordination and prowess! Nothing can stop the US Air Force!
maybe the chinese!
@@ghs7714 NOT A CHANCE YET!
Oh, man, this was awesome, awesome. One million thumbs up to this channel. I tell you. Man, this was one hell of a team. Work
beautiful video and cockpit views of this flyover! the globemaster is a strong and powerful military aircraft for sure. great piloting by these guys who deserve respect and honor for service to our country. great job on this awesome video! rob
Thanks Rob! Really glad you enjoyed the vid. Lots of hours went into this one. I think it's great for the public to truly appreciate the work that goes into what otherwise appears from the ground to be a "simple" flyover.
Great video. Thank you Air Force for your service.
Awesome video! Props for including the headset audio! Can't ever find a video like this that has the conversations in them.
Awesome video😊 God bless you guys!! We really appreciate these beautiful flyovers ❤
I enjoyed the video very much. I've seen flyovers before, so it was interesting to learn the planning that goes into them.
kristov29 Really glad you enjoyed the video! The planning behind these events is definitely fascinating.
Awesome flight. Thanks for the “free” flight. I used to live in Riverside. Now I’m up here near JBLM. I retired from the Army in 1991 and flew on many Air Force planes - mostly C-141’s, C-130’s and the C-5 Galaxy. The C-17’s are awesome.
I was with the 75th. INF. BN. and flew lots of times in the C-130, C-141, C-7 Caribou, UH-1H, CH-47.
Full flaps. FULL THRUST!!! Love it
Michael Mesolella That’s real aviation 😉
Nice crew coordination guys.cheers from france America
lovely aircraft super staff!!!! Thank you for the video from Greece !!!
Super!Thank you for your service!
UkrAir Patrol Definitely appreciated the hard work of these flight crews. Thanks for watching!
What an Air Force, What a Country ! Thank you.
Glad you liked the video! Quite an impressive mission.
one of these went over my house several days ago. why i am here posting on this video. i was alarmed and awed by it. it was low slow and quiet. not what i expected at all. i watched it go over like it was santa and his slay. so big .even in the sky. the low noise was a testament to the airframe engineers. they realy accomplished something. even the air friction noise was no existent. every day , commercial air liners of all sizes go over so i have a good comparison. some shake the pictures on my walls. this was very low key. if you weren t looking at it , you would have no idea what it was . or atleast under estimate . awesome thing to see.
What a day, what a video!
RyanBomar Not much that can top it :)
Outstanding flight for those who had fallen and those who were celebrating! Surprised to see the "Stick" instead of a wheel!
Edward Grant Yeah the stick was definitely a surprise to see! Such a great mission celebrating our Vets and fallen.
The part where you flew over Morro Bay Was Awesome
Scott Esau Definitely looks cool from the air! It’s amazing how agile the C-17 is threading itself VFR through tricky airspace.
dit is echt heel mooi heb er van genoten nu weet je wat de piloten van het leger allemaal doen en zien
Excellent video!
Thanks!
Awesome video.
SUPER video!! Thanks for your service!! Msgt USAF (Ret)
Don Jamieson Hi Don, really glad you enjoyed the video! I was just the camera/ media guy. However, thank You for your service.
This bird flew me out of Iraq multiple times... Thank you Sir!
I miss seeing the C5 galaxy landing here at Stewart In newburgh NY.
March AFB was my first duty base when it was headquarters 15th AF back in 1973 - 1975. I was assigned to the 33rd Comm. Squadron which used to be up on the hill across the interstate where there is a large housing edition now.
Keith McFaul That’s awesome. I have nothing but good things to say about those who work there. Great people to work for. I’m sure you have quite a few memories there.
its really really great video ..i never show before
Great effort 👍
Thank you🇺🇸
Thanks for stopping by and watching the vid!
That was really cool!
xero925 Thanks for watching! I’m glad people can watch and appreciate all the coordination that goes on behind the scenes of our military.
you my fellow vets have GREAT PLANE TO PLAY WITH I served on the eground with UNEF 2 during Israel -Egypt war I am also a commercial pilot ( U.S and Candian licences ) never made to aviation for living but flew as a Ferry PIlot for many years git some 4500 Plus hrs in my logbook I love flying one of my comments when people ask why I love flying is " It still the best way to get high ! God Bless and be safe my brothers in arms !
Wow awesome video.
GT-AVIATOR Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Love this video
Awesome!
Very, very cool !
orchidorio Indeed. Lots of cool maneuvering for such a large aircraft!
Beautiful Bird.... Beautiful People.... Beautiful Country. Keep it Going! :) xoxo
1000 Likes on this one Phillip, really great footage and editing 😃👍
Thanks Ed! Really glad you enjoyed the video. This one is an improved version over the one I uploaded back in March of this year. Some of the changes no one would notice, but a couple rookie editing mistakes I couldn't live with haha. This version is here to stay :)
It's a keeper for sure 👍
The C17 is so much smoother and quieter than the C141B I used to crew. I like all the crew coordination reminds me of my HH60 days as a flight engineer running checklists.
556 4Ever Very cool! I love watching the team effort in flying these birds. All the hands on is much more exciting to watch than all of today’s automation.
Awesome aircrafts. I miss riding on the old C141s. Kwajalein-Hickam AFB all time favorite way to travel between the two islands. Beats commercial flights anyday. Terminals are another thing..
@@KevinSmith-bs9iw Did a C-141 from Korat Thailand to Kadena AFB, did an overnight at Kadena and on to Wake, and after a cup o joe for the beast on to Hickam.
I was surprised to hear Santa Maria mentioned in there as I am from there. I want to be a Loadmaster in one of those things in the future!
Shuffy 16 Santa Maria was definitely a nice area to fly over. Being loadmaster seems like it would be an awesome job.
Attended Rice Elementary School (Opal Court off Broadway), before moving onto Vandenburg AFB as my Dad was stationed to Vietnam and King Salmon Ak. I went in, Nellie, Osan, Nellie and Norton(SP/SF’s). USAF, #1 !!!
Visited march museum from scotland, loved watching the landing approach! I recognised the turnpike where i drove on the wrong side! Lol. Even saw some c-17 and f-15 take off, would love to visit again
Thanks awesome! I still have yet to visit that museum. Sounds like you had an enjoyable time there.
Nice ride. Keep up the good work ! God Bless The USA !
george chalifour Thanks for watching!
Good Job..
Adrian Fernando Thank you Adrian! It was a lot of hours putting it together.
Among the heroes!
Absolutely!
That is so cool!
Luiz Eduardo O. da Fonseca Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the vid.
@@LoveJT8D you are a copilot?
beautiful view..shadow of the C-17
RAN The shadows are just as cool as the plane itself.
@@LoveJT8D yes true
Salute to C - 17 team.
Way cool thanks
Thanks for stopping by and watching. Much appreciated!
Awesome men.
bs2502 Absolutely!
Man, these guys are busy up there.
The C-17 is a big boy but when it hits the air it's good some agility and powerful on it.
That must be a great airplane and the crew well trained to fly it too. I never got to work on that airplane or fly on it, but worked on the C-141's which was stationed at the old Norton AFB and the C-130's at Little Rock AFB, and also worked on the C-5 Galaxy's out of Travis, and Dover AFB's. I was stationed at Norton when Mt. St. Helen's erupted in a volcano and flew many times between Norton and McChord AFB's before and after that incident.
Sidney Mathious That’s so cool! What was your role on the C-5? That’s such an amazing aircraft.
@@LoveJT8D I was a cargo specialist on the C-5's and all the other aircraft I worked on. When I went into the military first I worked on the B-52's and then the A-10 Thunderbolt airplanes.
Sidney Mathious How cool! The B-52 is a whole other category of “beast” compared to the cargo birds.
@@LoveJT8D Yes they are and at times I enjoyed working on and flying on them.
@@LoveJT8D I was a cargo specialist loading and unloading cargo and passengers onto and off of the airplane like we did with the smaller ones.
Way cool.
How did you incorporate the audio? My Nflightcam recorder doesn’t work with the 17s jack.
Cool video that #2 engine was really shaking back and forth tho at 17:32!!
Scott Guthrie Yeah, those engines have some good flex to them! I’ve seen them sway slightly more than that even. If you’re interested, I filmed a C-17 mid-air refueling and can see head-on all four C-17 engines wobbling from the wake of the tanker.
Never have I seen an engine shake like that. I'm thinking, give me a runway, I'm comin' in.
When I was in the air force, we had no jets. Largest I flew on was a C-130a which was noisy even with ear protection.
granskare That’s really cool you got to work on the C-130a. Those aircraft are definitely beasts in their own right. Is the “a” version an earlier model where there was newer variants over time?
Can't believe how young the crew is! Aircraft commander (right seat?) is what, maybe 30?
I was a bit surprised to see how they were planning to look for landmarks for the flyovers. I would have thought with current avionics technology that they could have entered the whole flight in the FMS or whatever GPS navigation system they would have onboard. I mean even new civilian aircraft (granted they have a 5 mil pricetag) have the capability of taking over the flight should the pilot be incapacitated and fly the aircraft to the most suitable airport, land, taxi the aircraft off the runway and shutdown. Having said that, these guys probably wanted to handfly the aircraft for the occasion, but still surprising they needed to search for landmarks. Thanks for the crew that decided to go to the trouble of video documenting the flight and then editing into an enjoyable watch on top of all the hard work of planning and carrying out the flight.
unapro3 I could be wrong but they had to align the plane very specific to parades and ceremonies, much of which involved specific roads and cemeteries which I don’t think aircraft avionics get that detailed.
The landmarks are programmed into the computer, plus their required times, altitudes, and airspeeds. This allows the crew to manage the mission more effectively with their visual situation.
300 feet AGL?
What happened to that last little part of the Bugle in the intro...? It's missing
Not sure actually. That's all that was included in the audio track I used. But, provided a nice seguay from where it faded out.
On a Marine Corps base that tune "evening colors" is played in the afternoon... I forgot exactly, but after it was over.. there was a 2-3 second pause of silence followed by a final few notes to kind of "end" it. Thanks for sharing
ua-cam.com/video/mPbhvFeXnM0/v-deo.html
@@dohc22h I see what you mean now. Thanks for sharing the link. The one I used in this video was a slight variation "To The Colors" which they also use at KRIV where this was filmed, (I believe in the afternoon, maybe all day). Not sure if that one is supposed to have a final few sequence of notes, but each call and their meaning I find fascinating.
LtCol Ken Goode is a friend of mine...
now..... why was it going over my house? im north of Macdill AFB by 30 miles but don't these usualy avoid populated areas when they can?
Does anybody know what is the name of the bugle call that was used at the first part of the video? Thanks
The source where I downloaded the track was titled "To The Colors". I believe that is the official name of this bugle call. Just to be sure, I double checked on UA-cam and indicates the same title.
@@LoveJT8D Thanks bud I was able to find it.
@@michaelvorderkunz2936 No prob!
I've never been to March afb but miss being near a flightline. I lived in Kitts Hummock DE petty close to the approach end of runway 01 so I was used to C5s doing touch n goes. Now I live in York Pa near rt30. Last year while in upstairs bathroom I heard a big jet coming so of course I look . I have USAF in my blood...... It was Mighy Mouse flying so low I was like. Holy ............. And this coming from a MAC Airman. It had been since 1985 that I was close to a big jet. I was 436aps ramp services. I loaded C5 and every other MAC aircraft in the inventory for 4 years . Never did load Mighty Mouse while I was in . They were not in service yet. God bless you all. I miss that life in a huge way
What is process like to become a transport pilot in the Air Force or requirements?
Join fhe Air Force, pass basic training, apply for Flight School. Many of these people have College Degrees or flight experience.
The captain in the co-pilot seat has nice eyelashes
Is globemaster a stick or yoke control? Anyone ?
It’s a stick, but is located front/center like a yoke.
wow I would have never guessed that they are flying stick. Why is that ?? Thank you !!!!!
I'm not 100% sure why this aircraft uses a stick, but might make things easier for performing tactical maneuvers etc. Just a guess.
Thank you for your reply !!!!!
It was a design decision by MDC and the Air Force as this is a military aircraft. The other MDC aircraft with a stick is the T45. All MDC cilivillan aircraft have yokes.
@@keithfreitas2983 thank you very much !!!!!
Video nice jobs
for SLAM19, = what what air mission 19? something Liaison? GREAT VIDEO from a former 141 driver
Genda Minoru I’m not 100% sure on the significance of “19” but maybe signifies the mission type? Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Genda Minoru did you ever fly the Hickam AFB to Kwajalein route?

Dude in the right seat was a natural...cool as a cucumber.
Absolutely!
why do they do full flaps down? Looks cooler?
mikegreenmusic I think it’s because it allows them to crank the engines more and to give a “roar” for the flyover as well as flying slower so folks on the ground can enjoy the view.
Slows the aircraft down and gives stability at the slow speed.
8:13 Ooooofff!
My son flies a c-17
THE 729TH NEVER DISAPPOINTS
I’m hoping to fly one of those someday I would want to fly a fighter but I have glasses☹️
Bob Bergen A fighter would definitely be cool but the C17 is more majestic imo.
You can get out of your seat and go to the bathroom or galley.
Safety. RACM.
I wonder who got the flag from that mission
iflytango I can’t remember exactly but was really cool.
@@LoveJT8D yes it was
If this aircraft had a tail wheel, this skilled group would be able to spot it on a beach with a 3 point landing.
Haha, without a doubt!

Aren’t the flightsuit sleeves suppose to be worn to the wrists?
“Sleeves may be rolled under if not performing in-flight duties. If rolled, sleeves will not end above the natural bend of the wrist when the wearer’s arms are hanging naturally to their side.”
Straight from the regulations.
As an Air Force vet I’ll gladly quote Regulations. Heck, actually help write a few.
Clearly you didn’t find them that important. Might have had some bearing on your “high year tenure” retirement as a TSgt.
TSgt...well I guess I nailed that one. As one former “blue suiter” to another, you might want to avoid snarky little quips such as...”So, you can quote regs all you want, but unless you do, what we do, on a daily basis, for 300+ days a year, EVERY year, then you don't have a clue.” Such posts make you sound like an arrogant ass.
End of discussion.
WoW they don’t care about touchdown zone! 🤔 Landed almost in the middle of runway, I guess when u have powerful reverse you land wherever you want lol.
I believe it is a procedural landing. I have watched them landing near where I live and sometimes they approached high and land like in this video. It is a tactical approach thing.
Great use of military equipment - for entertainment purposes only
To give the world xhace inspired by command sargent majors all ober for noy just begin pretty
Ok we are ckear if stupod shoy ask any questoon
the combined age of that crew was 37 years old.
