Turn your volume up for the full PW2000 experience. :-)

US Air Force Globemaster departs Northolt for Ramstein. Runway 25 was in use at the time but for reasons unknown to me, this took off on Runway 07 with a slight tailwind which would probably explain the shallow climb out compared to other C-17 takeoffs from here.

Also seen at the end is one of the RAF's new Envoy aircraft returning.

    I want my own Globemaster, park it out front, impress the neighbors. Take it through McDonalds drive through, I feel as though chicks would dig me. hottie~ "There goes that dreamy guy who flattened McDonalds"

    What’s amazing about this aircraft is it can land and take off at my local municipal airport, right along with the Cessnas 😂 truly a miracle of aviation engineering.

    Pure Exhilaration. How can something that big lift up and take off that fast. God's Will. I loved ❤ every minute of it. Thank you for the video.

    C 17 got airborne quickly, must’ve been lightly loaded. Impressive!

    The Glodmaster transported our late Queens coffin to London when she died. The RAF also use them, but its an American plane. So I like to think that the Americans played a part in her procession.

    I'm always amazed at how short a run down the runway these giants need before they rotate.
