It's crazy to see how much dirt those huge engines kick up!

A visitor from United States posted Thu July 26, 2007:
When I see C-17s landing around here they are louder than Hades. I can not imagine how much noise was rolling across the ground after that takeoff. Love the ‘dusting’ they gave the runway

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon April 9, 2007:
Ok, the situation alone is impresive enough, but to capture the aircraft so cleanly and sharply as well makes this a masterpiece.
