C-17 lands at wrong airport... Really wrong airport... But amazing...

When it was preparing to roll, what the heck is getting sucked in the outboard
engine at 37 seconds? Water vapor?

It's pretty common for the engines to create a vortex contrail at runup...

Skilless pretty much got it right. When I used to do engine run's on these, the vortex's would really show up when the engine was in reverse. Pretty neat to see it from the cockpit.

That landing is fun to watch, somewhere around touchdown or imediatley afterwards seems to be the moment that the pilot/crew realise that that this was'nt the runway/airport they were looking for so they hit the OS button and really lay on the brakes, then about halfway down the runway they realise they're plenty slow enough that they can ease up and roll out.

you should read what some are saying on FB

one was along the lines " I saw him go through the ground...." (that made me laugh)

I tried to set them straight but paranoia is heavy with some.

I wonder how many house windows they broke on takeoff?

A large military aircraft landed here on one of our smaller airports due to emergency. They ended up having to take apart the entire plane and truck it out. I am trying to find the news story on it.
