 A visitor from - posted Thu August 7, 2008:Just crazy, very nice shot | |
| A visitor from - posted Mon June 16, 2008: It was a compressor stall. I know for a fact, I was on the plane. | |

 A visitor from Australia posted Wed March 26, 2008:Seen this happen before; on a C-17 also at another airshow. It's unusual but hardly rare or dangerous - just a compressor stall. | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Sun March 23, 2008: Not all Australians like America, lol | |
 A visitor from Germany posted Fri February 1, 2008:It looks like a stall, but a stall is technically very close to a surge so who knows what happened afterwards. Even so, the fuel exiting the rear and burning may easily have damaged the turbines, that are already quite close to their thermal limits. Id say the engine is good for inspection now | |
 A visitor from United States posted Wed October 17, 2007:Great shot with good camera speed. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon August 20, 2007: Very good timing -- a lucky one! This is hardly "bad", or a "millions of dollars" worth of loss. I doubt there's any loss at all. A compressor stall does not equal engine damage. Since the compressor is stalled, the fuel in the engine (you remember, it burns, right?!) doesn't get enough air to burn, and thus unburnt hot fuel exits the engine and burns in the surrounding air. This type of a stall is likely transient, but in any case there was no engine damage *due* to the stall. The stall could have happened because the engine was abused previously and was already damaged somehow (say caked-on sand while desert flying). | |

 A visitor from Serbia And Montenegro posted Thu November 16, 2006:If you don't know what is going on, like I don't, this looks like it's been edited in Adobe AfterEffects or something, because of the LOGO... If it wasn't, well, my rating says it all... | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu November 2, 2006: Is this a normal thing to happen or it is some type of expensive damage. | |
