KC-46 Pegasus "Austere Operations" • Northwest Field Guam

The camera angel is Beautiful ❤️ Impressive clip.....Loved it

these guys like to land and takeoff like hotshots I guess eh

Bad mo fo

a KC-10 much better

They need no thrust reversers

When are they going to leave Guam???

I hope these are not the planes they're bringing in the illegals with

Many thanks to all allies of Ukraine. I bless you, and God bless you.

Airline pilots in the making.

Kansas to Guam is a long ✈️ flight...

Unusual fuel coupling location compared to a regular 767

Can't wait to see them at March AFB. Congrats to Cali and Riverside. The base that should have never closed and left active Duty. Let's go March ARB now!

Among my favorite tanker aircraft, the other being the KC-10.

gettin' the job done - well done +++

These things are a absolute piece of crap, kc-135 all the way.

When I was there in the 70s, Northwest field was not in used. couple of tracking stations and open to Boy Scouts for camping use.

I'm a Crew Chief for the KC-46!!! Best plane ever!!

The person in charge of the KC-46 procurement program said: Why would a Tanker ever need reverse thrust? So we'll just delete it from an engine and airplane that usually comes with it as standard equipment. We'll here is your answer........

Nice view of the kc 46 pegasus usa military plane

I take that they are also now operating off Tinian .

so that’s what i’ve been hearing in my room in some days

Now thats close to the runway!! Have not seen these planes myself yet in service of the USAF. Only saw the Italians flying this type until now! The planes look good 😎

Austere…that’s funny

NW field was over grown and we used it for M-203 training when I was stationed on Guam. Pease ANGB has the KC-46. I have distant pictures on my phone from Portsmouth.

I think it was a big mistake not to equip the aircraft with thrust reversers. CFM sold the re-engine of the 135 fleet based upon the improved five rotor brakes. Weight is a huge consideration in landing short field. With contaminated runways, brakes won’t make the difference. While the five rotor brakes were amazing, they can’t make up for bad runways and high altitude landings. I have over 4000 hours in the KC, so my perspective comes from those many hours of mission experience. Having another tool in your handbag is priceless.

Did they not put reverse thrust on this plane?

Glad i been part of building this plane !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Thrust Reverse?!??!!?

“Who the Hell…..POL!” Great to see that outstanding refueling support!

No thrust reverser

Keep rotating like that and you’ll hit something eventually. Also, why’d they leave the gear down so long?

Man o man the boeing 767 is such a pretty bird .

I know what Austere is. And this ain't it.

why aren't the reverse thrusters deployed ?

Procured by corruption and produced with ncompetence - Boeing

You dont have healthcare because the satanic gov is busy paying these guys salaries and they produce absolutely nothing.

Cool👍

Im biased growing up in the 135. However, people and equipment retire. I wish the crews well and a long life to the 767.
