Taxying For Take Off
USAF Boeing C-17 Globemaster III 77188 from Charleston Air Force Base taxies to the end of the runway at Northolt about to turn for take off. It's just been loaded with one of President Biden's Marine One VH-3s and is about to head home. Notice the jet wash on the grass behind it. The road where I'm standing has been closed to traffic and we're about to be asked to move out of the direct line of thrust by the RAF Police. Even then we're hard pressed to keep on our feet and any hats have to be held onto! It has to hurry as another USAF C-17 is on approach about to land within a couple of minutes.
