My old mand was posted to RAAF Richmond. Always sat out with the firies :D

[@bluestang302]

this is pretty badass dude... i like the location you shot from, too bad the sound is a little muffled

@casiopilot I talked to a KC-135 crewman at an airshow yesterday. They are finally going to replace it within the next 5 to 10 years.

What day in 1989 was this filmed?

[@336kgf]

So this airbase is right outside of Sydney? I think I was there for a couple of hours in 77 when we were on our way to a USAF-RAAF base in the Aussie outback.

I wonder if you know someone who also has a copy of this video in a much higher quality? This only comes out of the right speaker, and it's very muffled. I don't know about the visual quality, because I'm totally blind and have been all my life, but if I were to give this video a quality rating from 1 to 10, I'd give it a 2. If the visual is better, then more power to that.. I love to hear the sound of that amazing airplane, even though that sound was so loud if you had to live right next to the airfield.

I fly gliders out of this base.

Re-upload with a better sound please!

Do the C5's still go to Richmond?

[@KevinMeno2008]

Yes they do, but now every C-5 has newer quieter GE CF6-80C2 engines instead of the TF-39 engines, therefore becoming C-5M Super Galaxy.
