    Thanks for posting…definitely a light fuel load and no cargo. If "FRED" isn't leaking hydraulic fluid, the system must be empty.

    Although I'm not a C-17 fanboy, their ability to stop on a dime along with their thrust reversing (without over temping the engines) is impressive. The backfire is usually just a compressor surge.

    Never put up with something high maintenance, unless it's high performance.
