Cool. :up:

Nice find. That C-17 picture is quite impressive. I don't know what exactly happened there, but if that's caused by the engine exhaust, I wonder what kind of mess those huge 777 engines would do.

Those are not triple 7 engines:

United Technologies Corp.'s Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Group in East Hartford, CT received a $14.5 million contract modification to provide for FY 2005 Final Economic Price Adjustment (http://www.arnet.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%2016_2.html) (EPA) for 27 F117-PW-100 engines (http://www.pratt-whitney.com/prod_mil_f117.asp). The F117-PW-100 powers the C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft, and is the military version of the PW2000 engine (http://www.pratt-whitney.com/prod_comm_pw2000.asp) that powers the Boeing 757 and Ilyushin IL-96. This work will be complete December 2005. The Aeronautical Systems Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force base, OH issued the contract
A triple seven engine is a LOT bigger than that.
the photo shows a c-17 performing a short field landing(look at the position of the slat/flap) using reverse thrust.

*smacks self*

Linton........:roll:

he knows those aren't 777 engines.:know: He was wondering what would it be like if they were. They'd probably tear the wings straight off, or create the biggest sand storm in the world (j/k)

now Imagine what it would be like if they put some 777-200LR hair driers on that thing. :rock:

Sorry you mean these that have this emergency airworthiness directive due to their habit of roll-back during critical flight phases
