airforce C-17 question
I live in Washington state, home of McCord airforce base. They have C-17's
there, and the local news station just stated what seems to me to be an unbelievable fact. They reported that th C-17 can descend 20,000 feet in 1 minute. Now I'm a general aviation pilot, and 2,000 feet per minute is a fast descent in my world. Is 20,000 fpm with a C-17 for real, or did the news (KOMO channel 4 for you other western Washinton folks) get it wrong?
