This really is a funny story.......during the spotting days at the airshow of Leeuwarden in 2011, this Globemaster made a backtrack to its parking position of the static display. While doing that, one of the flight crew members was hanging out of the roof, waving a dutch flag. The pilot decided to "show off" a little bit and opened full trhottle thrust reverse. The guy on the roof really had to take cover, allmost losing his flag. What he forgot however, was his headset still was on his head. As you can see here, it's being blown away, and came down on the pilots left side and landed on the runway. They even had to call in incident for this, to prevent danger for sucking up debrie....the headset was returned to rightfull owner :-)
