The C17 was as a result of an ‘aggressive turn’ which led to a stall warning which the crew ignored and attempted to continue the manoeuvre. I don’t doubt that this was not the first time that the Captain/crew had elected to ignore a stall warning or fly an overly aggressive turn. Rather than a failure in basic handling, I think this was a result of what is called ‘deviation of the norm’ - the crew had been allowed to get away with this by the supervisory chain in the past, leading to these tragic results.

Role demo’s should be just that! For a Herc, this could involve some sort of Tac take off/landing. For an E3, well, let’s not go there suffice to say it won’t be very dynamic!

Brian May -it’s not just you, and I know which Captain you refer to!!
