I wouldn’t have been worry that much about stopping (tremendous reversing thrust) my concern would have been weight restrictions

You should see a loaded C 130 reverse the props on a short field landing. Dirt runways will make the entire aircraft disappear in a cloud of dust.

He didn’t land at the Tampa airport.

Y'all are assuming the pilot is a he. This is a C-17.
