I had never seen the complete video. This video has been inverted.

Screwing the Pooch 101:

I remember this . . .

A C-17 is not a fighter and cannot be flown like one.

Nor is a B-52.

Yet this guy can make a C-54/DC-4 sing:

Yeah, but in both of those cases, with both of those pilots, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Each had a history of hot-dogging. Especially in the case of Art Holland in the B-52, he had a very LONG history of aggressive flying with few reprimands and/or warnings.

Remember, there are OLD pilots and there are BOLD pilots, but there are no OLD BOLD pilots.

I'd forgotten the incident and was surprised he didn't stack it in off the initial climb.

IIRC it wasn't the the initial climb. I'd have to look it up again, but IIRC it was his failure to trim out the a/c after t/o and put it into flight configuration before hotdogging . . . and of course, we know you can't bank a C-17 at 80+ degrees and hope for the best . . .
