I can just see the OER.

Seems like someone punched the wrong airport code into the nav system.

Yeah I don’t think he’ll be flying for the Air Force anymore even if he can pull off a perfect reverse thrust maneuver.

With probably a smaller payload than this one, C-17s set takeoff and landing world records: Less than 1400 feet with a payload of 40,000 lbs, I think. This guy didn’t appear to be jumping on the brakes, but as they offloaded some payload prior to takeoff, maybe he did have a full load and did wear down his brakes. You may be right.

I wonder if the pilot thought he was flying a C-123 and had to make a short field landing in Vietnam?
