we've had jets and old prop planes so i thought i'd post something different. one of the workhorses.

this C-17 had some serious problems this day. it tried to demonstrate it's short runway landing capabilities by inducing a reverse thrust. when it did one of the four engines stalled. if you dont know what happens when a jet engine stalls, check out this video.

thanks for looking. comments welcome and much appreciated.

Looks like you need all four to be working to be in sync. Interesting Mr H! Could make for a disastrous landing..........
