I'm 100% sure living at the end of a runway from birth to 14 years old, listening to these engines as they flew over my house every hour is why my hearing is shot to shit, but damn I miss that sound.
This is an amazing plane. I was on three times in the past as space available passenger. It can carry up to 73 passengers and climb into the second deck via very steep steps on the back. End up sitting facing back ward. Once in the air, it is a very stable plane, experienced very little shake because it can carry very heavy cargo on the below deck. In the cabin, you will need to wear ear plugs due to higher level of jet noise, but nothing really loud. It can fly non-stop, long distance. This must be the most powerful cargo plane in the U.S. Air Force and the biggest.
Most Air Force planes that carry passengers have the seats facing backwards because its much safer in an accident involving sudden deceleration. The same thing is true for commercial airliners but the paying customers don't like the idea of riding while moving backwards.
I'm a retired USAF veteran. The Air National Guard unit I was attached to in St. Joseph, MO was activated for Operation desert Storm. I was in a medical unit. Our unit was split into two detachments, one of which went to England to help other ANG folks set up a contingency hospital (thank goodness it was never used), and the rest of the unit (that I was assigned to) went out to Travis AFB, CA to backfill the personnel that had been taken from that large hospital. My section, the Physical Examinations and Standards group in the Flight Surgeon's office, had Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve personnel from 13 different states, filling out the 3 people who stayed behind as the "skeleton crew". We finally got to put all of our training and experience into play to run this section, and we were very graciously praised by the head flight surgeon at Travis AFB (who herself was from the Air National Guard unit). Anyway, I digress. Travis AFB is the western base for the Pacific section of the Air Transport Command, and sends out several sorties a day to the several US air bases around the Pacific Rim. Therefore, there were a number of C-141 and C-5 aircraft stationed there, and the western repair depot was located there, and at Norton AFB, CA. I was billeted in a building where you could clearly hear the flightline, 24/7, and you frequently heard the distinctive whine of the C-5 engines being started and run, not only for departure, but for maintenance purposes. After a week or so, I learned to sleep through it. So I know the whine of those C-5 engines very well, and the scream they rise to prior to takeoff. Jet noise, the sound of freedom.
Living near Offutt AFB in the early '80s, I heard this eerie howl on an overcast morning which no doubt added to the atmospheric amplification. I glanced up for what seemed minutes and there it finally showed, drifting between the cluster of low clouds, a C5..., unforgettable. While living there also got to witness the last of the Vulcans perform, another awesome spectacle and sound.
Took a ride home from Iraq in 2005 on one of these out of Al Assad Airbase with 3 CH-46's in the belly. That was the crazies take off as you are seated backwards in the rear compartment. Also, the worst turbulence I have ever experienced during mid-air refueling.
My dad helped build the first c-5a galaxy 500 at Dobbins afb in Marietta Georgia '65-'67 he was a tooling inspector for Lockheed and the tail had a "boot!" On the hanger doors and it was 5 stories taller than the hanger! Big brother of the c-141 starlifter!
Worked at Norton and loved the sound of the C-5. It has that distinct whine. We would hear them spooling the engines and drop everything to watch the takeoff right over us. We worked at the end of the runway. Amazing plane.
They are pretty remarkable, and very very loud. I loved watching them take-off, also, because they are so big they look like they shouldn't be able to climb... the Antonovs have a similar whine to these, but still distinct.
My first assignment after USAF Basic at 1725th Sturon at Lackland AFB was the 443 MAWsq at Altus AFB, Oklahoma. The sight of that huge beast spooling up, taxiing and taking off was mind blowing. The sound just penetrated you to the core. My ears always perked up when one flew overhead. Watching them and the C-141's sorte was awesome. It seemed to take forever to land. Incredible sight.
Sad the days of hearing that wonderful sound of the TF-39's has passed. Conversion to the C-5M Super Galaxy replaced them with engines with no soul to them.
Charleston International and the AFB runways are basically right next to each other, I think they may even share the runway at times. You can observe these big birds taking off and landing all day every day. I love it!
I used to watch those C-5s land and takeoff at El Toro. They are so massive that they seem to hang in the air, and the car traffic would be stopped at the end of the runway.
Yah it was quite a treat to be carried over to Dhahran in one of those at the start of Desert Shield. But the most interesting part was its troop seats faced towards the rear of the plane...
***** first off, I talked about German engineering in general. Secondly, "the ones they built themselves didn't stand a chance" How about the me262? Fighting against p51 mustangs and bombers.
***** uhh first off I'm not German... I'm Swedish. Secondly did you just try to call me a nazi? It's "and you're a nazi" not "and you're nazi". Oh you're only looking at military vehicles and not civilian equipment.. Engineering isn't all about the military.... How about transport planes? What's the biggest the US have got? C5 galaxy? That's cute how about a Ukrainian an-225. Passenger plane? Boeing 747? that's cute. A380! Boats? Hmm how about a Danish mærsk?
Don't forget that nearly every American invention for the last 70 years is based on stolen German prototypes, know-how or engineers/scientists. Or do you really think that there was an American flag on the moon without von Braun and the Vergeltungswaffen? It took half the world to defeat Germany and Japan in the 2nd world war, 2 countries with less then 100 000 000 people each and without resources, Germany recovered from being nearly totally destroyed within two decades and retook the export world leadership so please don't be so stupid to say that German engineering is not the best in the world...
The sound of the C5 takes be back to Clark AB Philippines 374th FMS 1986 thru 1989 . I worked in A.G.E. The C5 isn't favorite cargo plane .Love the sound of the older C5's.
You're definitely right about the sound. I'm not sure whether or not the C-5 has reverse thrust but there's a definite pitch change when landing, it sounds like it's possessed by demons or something, it's amazing!
Used to see these often as a kid, however I couldn't appreciate what kind of thrust and lift this gigantasaurus has to just take off, my uncle said, "those c5's are like whales once they're in the air they're good its those landings that are hell, often popping tires on those landings, he would know he used to be on a C5 crew. R.I.P Uncle.
First time I saw this plane was back in the summer of '68. It was a Sunday, and we were playing soccer at a school playground in the Emory area (about 25 miles SE of Lockheed in Marietta). One of these things flew over, couldn't have been more than 1000 feet overhead. The game just STOPPED, and all jaws dropped watching this huge thing screaming overhead. Quite the impression.
Right. It would have gone a lot further down the runway if loaded. What an airplane. I always wanted to be an airplane pilot. Oh well. No health or money so it won't be me.
I will never forget the Abbortsford Airshow I went to in the late 80's. It was during Gorbachev's new openness policy. I got to see an AN-225 and Mig-29 do a flight demo. All the USAF Thunderbird pilots were on the flight line watching the Mig-29 demo.
I've flown in the back seats a few times on leave. They look slow when taking off 'cause they're so big. But they actually do throw you a bit "forward" (since the seats face toward the tail) due to the acceleration. They're faster than they look. Absolutely enormous, impressive airplanes, and the sound of those TF-39's is unmistakable. A SMSgt gave me a detailed tour of his aircraft. Had to be chuckling at the wide-eyed nonstop "OHMYGODTHISPLANEISHUGE!!" look on my face. Thank you, SMSgt.
Obviously empty. Less weight full thrust engaged while parking brakes was set. Releases parking brakes, enough momentum gathered within shortest possible time, short takeoff successful 🙂👍
Its really a myth. While H4 was the largest aircraft at that time, it was so really by a margine not that large. The BV238 wasnt that much smaler, and the B36 and xc99 transport counter part was actually heavier. The we have the Martin mars that was in serial production while quitr a bit smaler than H4, still a huge aircraft
I grew up in Marietta Ga. just a few miles from Lockheed where they built the C-5 and was lucky enough to see these behemoths fly overhead almost daily. They would fly so low on approach that they would almost fill up the sky overhead, truly an amazing sight to behold.
Actually it can be done. I forget how but the long & the short of it is you convert an .mp3 file of the sound you want, trimmed to the length you want, into a ringtone file with a ringtone file extension suffix- whose 3 letter code I can’t remember now. It’s tedious but it can be done.
I understand physics and all that, but it's still amazing to see something like this. I'm shocked it actually took off since it looks rather unreal. It looks extremely heavy. Thank you for posting this.
I used to live and work for Lockheed in Burbank, California. With great secrecy, Lockheed built the F-117 Stealth Fighters there. About once a week or so, I would hear the unmistakeable scream of Galaxy engines flying overhead. The C5 would land at Lockheed Burbank and then, after loading the secret cargo, fly off to Watertown, Dreamland Resort, the Ranch, Groom Lake..AREA 51. For those of you that were in the know, was it not 1984-1988 on Thursday nights? Later on in the 90s, it was out to Tonopah for fun times in the sun.
While in the USAF stationed at Altus AFB, OK in 1984 I had the opportunity to ride on the C5 for display at Abbotsford. Because it was an International flight I was able to take my 2 1/2 y.o. son with me for the long weekend. A memory neither of us will ever forget. We started the flight in the Passenger compartment, then climbed down the tall ladder to the completely empty cargo bay, then up to the cockpit where he was greeted by the crew. Not so unfortunately the C5 was broke and had to divert back to Travis on the way home so my son got a bonus by riding on the C141 back home to Altus.
Fun facts, from my 8 years flying on the C-5. This departure is what we call a TRT Standing. It is designed for short fields, heavy loads, or combat. The pilots will divide up the duties, usually with the pilot who rotates and flies on the brakes and "go" decisions and the other on the numbers. One pilot holds the brakes HARD, and the throttles are pushed up till engines hit max pressure. THEN they are released and roll is started. Kind of springs off the ground when lite for combat. Fun!
I've sheltered in a galaxy during a rainstorm - this plane is freakin huge up close. You would never think this thing could fly if you saw how huge it really is
when you ride in the seats in the top of the cargo bay you face towards the back of the plane!! crazy ride never thought it was going to lift offf run way!!! Airborne!!
It's an optical illusion that has to do with the physical size of the plane and how your mind perceives the speed of an object in motion. To perceive motion you look at how long it takes for an object to travel its own length. Because a C-5 is so big it takes it a long time to travel its own length, which makes it appear to be going very slow. In contrast a small fighter plane going the exact same speed will travel its own length very quickly making it look like its going much faster.
I spoke to a pilot (kid) of a C-5 & I asked him if it was difficult to fly.. He said no… “if the houses are getting smaller I’m doing it right… if they’re getting bigger I’m doing something wrong” 😂🤣😂🤣
When I was stationed at Norton AFB, I arrived after C141s flew in. Talking to fellow airmen. They told me that the residence around the base were having demonstrations forbidding the big jet to arrive at Norton. One morning the demonstrators rallied for their demo,they saw the C141's all lined up on the ramp. The plane was so quiet that they didn't hear them land.
Saw my first one at Lackland AFB while standing in formation at 4 am in basic training, couldn't beleive how fuckin big it was and how slowly it floats up like a blimp. Later rode in one for a 23 hour flight to Israel and had a whole row to my self....slept like a baby
I worked at Wilford Hall hosp,. but lived off base on the NW side of town, right in their flight path. I could not believe how quiet those monsters were when landing.
Beautifully captured. Pilots are checking engines if the are running OK at the imaginary "stop line" -- last chance of being back at the cafe before blast off!
Love C-5s, walked thru 2 separate ones at dif air shows, cavernous cargo areas. Got to see the upper deck of a C-5A long ago, dad had been ANG so we were allowed up, it was still all gauges back then, now it's all glass cockpit stuff. Eventually it'll be augmented vision gear.
*Sad thoze TF-39 engines are now gone - Legendary... C-5 just sounds like any other jet airliner now*

Used to see Abbotsford every year in the '80's.
This is the plane where they take young lads to wars
Your thinking of either the C-130 or the C-17.
I understand physics and all that, but it's still amazing to see something like this. I'm shocked it actually took off since it looks rather unreal. It looks extremely heavy. Thank you for posting this.
0:44 Pov you stubbed your toe on the sharp part of the wall:
Lol you got it there 😂😂😂
And thank you to those who answered your questions in a courteous manner. Faith in humanity momentarily restored...
I used to live and work for Lockheed in Burbank, California. With great secrecy, Lockheed built the F-117 Stealth Fighters there. About once a week or so, I would hear the unmistakeable scream of Galaxy engines flying overhead. The C5 would land at Lockheed Burbank and then, after loading the secret cargo, fly off to Watertown, Dreamland Resort, the Ranch, Groom Lake..AREA 51. For those of you that were in the know, was it not 1984-1988 on Thursday nights? Later on in the 90s, it was out to Tonopah for fun times in the sun.
Impressive performance for such a huge aircraft. Off the ground fast & short. Engine wind up was a little screamy but nothing obnotcious.
Short takeoff roll. Plane must have been empty
Or the engine is powerful
Love the special sound of these old turbofans. I live near Ramstein AB so I grew up with that C5 sound
those things do indeed shriek like all hell when they roll out.
You should have heard the old TF-39 engines.
While in the USAF stationed at Altus AFB, OK in 1984 I had the opportunity to ride on the C5 for display at Abbotsford. Because it was an International flight I was able to take my 2 1/2 y.o. son with me for the long weekend. A memory neither of us will ever forget. We started the flight in the Passenger compartment, then climbed down the tall ladder to the completely empty cargo bay, then up to the cockpit where he was greeted by the crew. Not so unfortunately the C5 was broke and had to divert back to Travis on the way home so my son got a bonus by riding on the C141 back home to Altus.
The wonder of human intelligence... ❤️
Fun facts, from my 8 years flying on the C-5. This departure is what we call a TRT Standing. It is designed for short fields, heavy loads, or combat.
The pilots will divide up the duties, usually with the pilot who rotates and flies on the brakes and "go" decisions and the other on the numbers.
One pilot holds the brakes HARD, and the throttles are pushed up till engines hit max pressure. THEN they are released and roll is started. Kind of springs off the ground when lite for combat. Fun!
The TF39 must be a version of the Pratt and Whitney JT9D on steroids
Its basically an old CF6 but the JT9D produce around the same thrust. 😅
I've sheltered in a galaxy during a rainstorm - this plane is freakin huge up close. You would never think this thing could fly if you saw how huge it really is
How to scare bad guys away: use a c5 galaxy
and do a very low pass
when you ride in the seats in the top of the cargo bay you face towards the back of the plane!! crazy ride never thought it was going to lift offf run way!!! Airborne!!
I miss that sound.😢
Must have been the camera angle, the plane looked like it was lacking speed taking off.
No, Military planes are designed to take off quickly in real war situations.
It's an optical illusion that has to do with the physical size of the plane and how your mind perceives the speed of an object in motion. To perceive motion you look at how long it takes for an object to travel its own length. Because a C-5 is so big it takes it a long time to travel its own length, which makes it appear to be going very slow. In contrast a small fighter plane going the exact same speed will travel its own length very quickly making it look like its going much faster.
Partly the angle of the camera and partly the fact that C-5s and C-17s were designed to land and take off on short runways.
I’ve seen them taking off and they do move slower than the fighter jets.
Bruh your comment is 2015
live near lockheed Georgia... and I am sad to see the old engines being replaced for much quieter ones... the C5 always had a signature sound....
I spoke to a pilot (kid) of a C-5 & I asked him if it was difficult to fly..
He said no… “if the houses are getting smaller I’m doing it right… if they’re getting bigger I’m doing something wrong” 😂🤣😂🤣
Very short takeoff run, for such a monster.
Just had one of these monsters fly into Selfridge ANGB, amazing to watch him circled over 3 times before he landed
Goodbye tf-39 :( Eventually only on RUclips will be be able to hear that sweet sound.
When I was stationed at Norton AFB, I arrived after C141s flew in. Talking to fellow airmen. They told me that the residence around the base were having demonstrations forbidding the big jet to arrive at Norton. One morning the demonstrators rallied for their demo,they saw the C141's all lined up on the ramp. The plane was so quiet that they didn't hear them land.
Saw my first one at Lackland AFB while standing in formation at 4 am in basic training, couldn't beleive how fuckin big it was and how slowly it floats up like a blimp. Later rode in one for a 23 hour flight to Israel and had a whole row to my self....slept like a baby
Top Lool oh wow man, it is a small world !
thatboyrick1 My dad Used to work at Lackland AFB and from my dad's house I seen a C5 fly over
I saw my C5 at Anderson AFB Guam in 1973 as a 3 year old running through the rear out the front, my father chasing me down....
Nic Coursey You're right. It does look bigger in real life. I was in total awe the first time I saw one flying overhead.
I worked at Wilford Hall hosp,. but lived off base on the NW side of town, right in their flight path. I could not believe how quiet those monsters were when landing.
Beautifully captured. Pilots are checking engines if the are running OK at the imaginary "stop line" -- last chance of being back at the cafe before blast off!
Loved those old engines better than the new ones....that sound was a show of force
C-5 Galaxy pulls into the local service station... " I need the tires rotated"...
Love C-5s, walked thru 2 separate ones at dif air shows, cavernous cargo areas. Got to see the upper deck of a C-5A long ago, dad had been ANG so we were allowed up, it was still all gauges back then, now it's all glass cockpit stuff. Eventually it'll be augmented vision gear.
absolutely love the landing gear flex when they release the brakes.
Raw power.
Thanks nice vid.
I like the moveable rear trucks for sharper turns
Goodness gracious! . . .haven't seen one of those in years! Watching them take off was always a thrill to hear and to see!
That's a short takeoff 😱
