Whoa

Looks like they pulled back on the yoke for a go-around after getting out of shape on the touchdown but didn't have enough speed at that point to actually take off.

You can see at 0:49 if you watch very closely that they engaged reverse thrust as the engine cover starts to slide back. Deciding to attempt a go-around after you've engaged reverse thrust is not going to end well .. :facepalm:

I thought reverse thrust required weight on wheels, and assumed (wrongly it seems) that the WoW switch would be on the nose gear.

Really common to see TR's deploy as the main gear is down but the nose is still floating a little above ground. 737s do it too. If you get your timing right you can deploy TR's before you bounce back up in the air too

Interesting that they decided to go around. Wonder what was happening on the flight deck. I'll be keeping an eye out for the report on this one in due course.

Fair enough. Reverse thrust for me is pushing it backwards into a hangar.

Not when you are in a C17...
