I am very pleased to share this project demonstrating the precise work and skill behind a tactical landing in a C-17 Globemaster. This type of maneuver is practiced regularly for landing in combat situations when needed. The landing takes us from Palm Springs, CA into March Air Reserve Base. A very special THANK YOU goes to the following people of the 452nd Air Mobility Wing: Jon Millmann, JB Guillotte, Tyler Hamill, Ryan Benson, Paul Bugar, Osmin Suguitan, and Linda Welz

Aircraft data is as follows:
US Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Nr. 05-5144 – 452nd AMW (Call Sign: SLAM 19 Heavy)

My production partner Ryan Bomar also documented this landing as well as the Veterans Day low pass flyovers leading up to this landing. You can see his video here: youtube.com/watch?v=ywjphjzThbk&t=15s
