U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Kolt Caylor, right, and Senior Airman Marios Campos, 21st Airlift Squadron loadmasters, sit on the ramp of a C-17 Globemaster III with the door open in preparation for a powerback maneuver on the flight line at Travis Air Force Base, California, Aug. 27, 2025. The C-17 is one of the few aircraft capable of using reverse thrust to move backward under its own power, called a powerback, allowing the C-17 to maneuver in and out of tight spaces in austere environments. Since the pilots’ view of what is directly behind the aircraft is severely limited, loadmasters communicate vital information to the pilots while backing up.
