1@CrossRoads Presumably, examples of incidents involving foreign object damage. – David Richerby Oct 22 '18 at 14:01

1How does "Ground Vortex" come into play? A just departed plane would create a vortex that could drift down. ATC makes planes wait to depart behind one in order to give any vortex a chance to dissipate. – CrossRoads Oct 22 '18 at 17:14

1@CrossRoads I think they're referring to the vortex that forms on the ground towards the intakes. A Google image search for c17 ground vortex shows the phenomenon. – Sanchises Oct 22 '18 at 18:25

The NTSB search might bring something up still. – CrossRoads Oct 22 '18 at 18:29

You can search the National Traffic Safety Board here
https://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/index.aspx
as a starting point.
Under Aircraft:Category, select Airplane.
Under Model, Select C17.
Scroll down and select Submit Query.
There are couple of hits on C17s on the first page of results, I didn't look at further pages.
Try this stack exchange link also on the same occurrence, but not just limited to C17s.
