SMOKY COLD START, RCAF CC 177 Globemaster III 177701 Departing Calgary Airport

Easily the most insane engine startup I ve witnessed This Royal Canadian Air Force CC177 Globemaster III spent a very cold day here in Calgary on Friday, where it was 20 C. CANFORCE 3609 is seen here making impressive amounts of smoke from its four PW2040 engines on startup, taxiing, and making a quick liftoff from runway 35L They started engine, 1 first, then, 2, then put, 2 into reverse and seemingly restarted, 1 before moving onto, 3 and, 4. Enjoy this special catch, with ATC included Thanks for watching FLIGHT INFO Airline: Canadian Forces (CFC) Aircraft: McDonnellDouglas C17A (Canadian designation CC177) Livery: Standard CF Grey Engines: 4x PW F117PW100 Registration: 177701 Route: Calgary (YYC) Canadian Forces Base Trenton (YTR) Callsign: CANFORCE 3609 Runway used: 35L Date filmed: February 9, 2017 Local time: 1500 Official Website:
