Whats your views on passing close behind a C-17 in a light aircraft?
wouldn't fancy it myself in my 10 ton TP.

There seem to be quite a few very costly issues in both man power and service provision/information which have been side stepped by saying the GA pilot didn't follow the rules of the air.

And personally if I was in his situation I don't think I would have turned behind it either due to votex considerations. But its very easy to say that sitting in the comfort of ones livingroom.
