Is this really real??
I don't know if this is a real tape of the Dover C-5 crash but if so then it is fascinating! Anyways take it for what it is worth.

From what I understand it is real. For all of the checkairmen out there please take note the position of the thrust levers after the control swap.

Actually it appears they turned a normal Three engine approach into a Two engine approach. No one noticed that they pulled the wrong throttle back!

Wow, that's an eye-opener. Does anyone know...did they have the first engine inop'ed through some other means than the throttles (fuel cutoff maybe)? Hard to believe that they intentionally left 2 engines with the throttle out.
I wonder if they keep criteria for go-around during simulated emergency (like stick shaker, or terrain warning).

It was the first flight or so of the AMP C-5. I guess that new glass panel that was telling them they were too slow and too heavy was just too much info for them.
I love how the copilot asked to fly so he could get credit for an emergency landing. Classic.

Interesting statement. Are you sure about that?
On another note... I came across this: Investigation Results

So, did you mean it was the first flight (or so) for this particular aircraft because I thought the first AMP flight was at the end of '02(?) This incident was in April of this year.

C-5 Crash
I was a pilot flying C-5's out of Dover in the 70's. The two inboard engine thrust reversers are deployable in-flight. The Ramstein crash occured when an inboard thrust reverser deployed just after lift off killing the entire crew. This is why this latest crew shut the engine down as a precautionary. This was a total failure by all members of the crew, which is why they call them accidents. One thing is sure, this crew will never fly again.
