A visitor from United States posted Fri February 12, 2010: The ability of this craft to leave the ground at such a steep angle and the tail not touching the ground. great piloting.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon July 13, 2009: Wow... well, at least 5 mm between tail and runway... And 5 star for the shot... On the bottom of the photo, 3 of the 10 MB-339PAN of Frecce Tricolori, Italian's acrobatic Team... Greetings from Italy! :)
A visitor from Canada posted Wed March 4, 2009: I LOVE this photo. It just captures the awesomeness of the C-17 :P Its great to watch these things fly over my house every single day, just doing circuits; CFB Trenton rocks for that!
A visitor from Kuwait posted Fri November 28, 2008: Lovely Picture: Something that no on else seems to have commented on is the gentleman in the foreground who jumped off the fighter aircraft...(did he feel that this was a tail strike too???)
A visitor from Australia posted Wed September 10, 2008: This is about as low as you can go on takeoff. Great shot of the take of roll out from a short field, really demonstrates what a a versatile aircraft the Globemaster II is. I am old enough to remeber the orginal Globemaster at Christcurch New Zealand we thought that was huge but this is something else.
A visitor from - posted Fri September 5, 2008: Brilliant!
A visitor from Germany posted Fri September 5, 2008: Inches from degrading!
A visitor from Germany posted Tue September 2, 2008: There are several pictures which look like an almost tailstrike but just because of the perspective... this one here leaves no doubt about a very close call!
A visitor from United States posted Mon September 1, 2008: I believe the C17 has tail strike prevention built in.
A visitor from United States posted Mon September 1, 2008: The C-17 is truly THE hot rod of large transport planes!!
A visitor from United States posted Mon September 1, 2008: Outstanding photo! Excellent subject, awesome capture overall! This shot really shows the get-up-and-go feature of the C-17A, and the fact that it's roughly 4 inches from a tailstrike makes it great for timing! ***** Jaysen - Wichita, KS
A visitor from Netherlands Antilles posted Mon September 1, 2008: WOW, fantastic shot! It's not almost a tailstrike, it's just a very capable aircraft!!! Five stars!!!
A visitor from United States posted Mon September 1, 2008: Very nice--
A visitor from Jordan posted Mon September 1, 2008: Inches from damage...
A visitor from Germany posted Mon September 1, 2008: You THINK it was near to a tailstrike? Just look a your (very well done by the way) picture and you'll see it WAS almost a tailstrike! ;)
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon September 1, 2008: This is simply an amazing photograph, look at how close that tail is!!! Very very capable aircraft
