Boeing C-17 part of an air show flying very low through Brisbane, Australia
Wow, in the middle of all those tall buildings? Feels way too risky.
Absolute unit
Bad camera angle, it’s not that bad, it follows a great big river – its really wide and full of brown polluted stink water. It was part of an airshow that happens each year since forever. [This is what’s happened in the past](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Vq3EyRI9w), they set planes on fire and aimed them at buildings. So this is comparatively tame.
Even if it crashed, no fish would die because the fish in the brisbane river are already dead.
buggah me it looks loahk noahn elevin
Thats a big boi
Can you imagine the terrain alarms that would be going off haha
Fuck yeah!
its filled with babies for all the good dingos
MAVERICK!!!!!
looks like a spaceship when its so close
Hey, this video was taken near my work
Pilots have the best job in the world
Much better angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYkL5C-xJ5U
*Every dog and cat in Brisbane hides under the bed*
The American in me is screaming “oh no not again!”
empty and with a low fuel load, these babies can go vertical. They have some pretty insane thrust to weight ratio.
Jumped out of a few of those….I would have loved being a passenger on that flight.
Terrain! Terrain!
Pull up!
yeah nah, I’ll be outta town for this event

For a while I thought it was going to fly under the crane. Still this seems kind of reckless
Me: Oh wow it’s pretty quiet for a plane-
> Sound finally hits
Ow my ears
That’s fucking awesome.
Well, that surprised me on how uncomfortable I got, with flashbacks.
“This is Ghost Rider, requesting flyby.” “Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.”
It’s amazing to see that thing so close to buildings to give perspective as to how gigantic it really is.
It’s incredible to think that thing weighs a couple hundred thousand pounds is just cruising so slowly through the air.
i have been thrown to the asphalt , knee to my kneck and handcuffed by police for riding my dirtbike on public road, but this is fine.
GTA 5 in real life
I was expecting a Kaiju to pop up and punch it out of the air. I’m not sure whether I’m disappointed that didn’t happen, or not.

Flying big airplanes close to the ground around lots of people to put on a “show” isn’t a particularly smart idea.

Flying low and slow is dangerous. Doing it over populated areas is just stupid.
Kangaroo Point…makes me homesick for the Bris.
Jumping out of a C-17 is way better than jumping out of a C-130. It’s the Cadillac of the skies.
You do that in Manhattan you will have the entire island trying to evacuate in a panic.
“We’re gonna be in the Brisbane”
And upside down too, that’s impressive!
That’s incredible. Literally looks like something I would do in GTA V
Yeah a stunt like this just won’t fly here in the States.
Holy shit….
My dad helped with the manufacturing of this plane. There were models all over the house of it, it was a huge part of my childhood. He went to Paris 2 weeks out of the month for 5 years to help get this pushed through with Airbus. Every time I see this plane I think of my dad 🙂
This is what happens if you use google directions whilst flying.
This is one of those videos where it drives home how amazing Humans are that we made this crazy, big shit that can do this crazy stuff. The plane, the buildings, the crane, the engines. All of it.
We’re insane.
Absolute unit, that lad.
It’s insane that such a large object seemingly going so slow could stay airborne. Planes are magic.

Something tells me this wouldn’t fly in the US.
That is a really big fuckin’ plane
For anyone wanting a comparison. This is 767 size aircraft.
[C17 compared to other aircraft](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ad/61/91/ad61910c63f2c9c2642bfad3b9fc315b.jpg)
good thing this wasnt scheduled in september
Yeah and the government loses their minds if a tiny drone is too close to an airplane.
But fly your C17 through a city center and that’s totally fine.
Someone’s been playing too much GTA V
Thats pretty much me when im bored playing GTA V (well when i used to, until some asshole shoots a rocket at me)
There is another shot of the plane from the perspective of the people in the building it was flying towards. I would be sitting there before it hit making the a new meme.

Yup, already shared… [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYkL5C-xJ5U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYkL5C-xJ5U)
what are you crazy Cunts doing down there?
Fun fact about that plane: it’s called the C-17 Globemaster. Fucking GLOBEMASTER! Isn’t that the coolest shit ever? I think so.
Didn’t this movie come out in 2001?
i don’t understand, how is it flying upside down?
MDC C-17. Boeing had nothing to do with that bird.
Don’t do this in NYC.
No chance this would be allowed in the US.
GTA IRL
this entire thread feels extremely fishy, the timestamps on the comments follows a trend as well. Also, the comments are all people basically just going, “oh yeah that was near me” or “oh yeah I was there.” It’s not typical random questions or funny jokes in these comments. This entire thing looks extremely dangerous, fake, and the comments are weird.
Butt cheeks clenched up pretty hard for a few moments
Lol, great footage.
Didn’t think you could do that anymore – looks awesome!
I always loved this one. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u6c8YL7yjJc
This would not fly in US, literally
