I recommend anyone who ever comes through Delaware to check out the Air Mobility Command museum. It is the patch the guy is wearing on his shirt. So much history at the museum and they even have a C5 Galaxy on display now. Allot of childhood memories talking to veterans. Their used to be a WW2 B17 tailgunner veteran that sat next to the plane every Sunday to tell stories about the war. Love that place.
@2:24 168 million dollars of debris, all that remains of this C5 scattered at end of the runway ... not to worry though, our military has 126 more of these on hand.
On 27 September 1974, C-5A Serial No. 68-0227 crashed after over-running the runway at Clinton, Oklahoma, Municipal Airport during an emergency landing following a serious landing gear fire. The crew mistakenly aligned the aircraft for the visual approach into the wrong airport, landing at Clinton Municipal Airport, which has a 4,400 ft (1,300 m) runway, instead of the airfield at Clinton-Sherman Industrial Airpark (former Clinton-Sherman Air Force Base), which has a 13,500 ft (4,100 m) runway. This was the first operational loss of a C-5 Galaxy.[111]
There is MORE to this story...I flew C-5s at the time this plane went down. It was at NIGHT when the fire began. They lost their electrical system so they were using flashlights to illuminate the cockpit. It was necessary to get it down, and they actually did a good job considering all that was occurring. By the way, I personally know both of the pilots, and they both are probably the two BEST pilots ever to fly the C-5. Both, at that time, were SUPER Instructor Pilots at Altus AFB...home of the training Squadron.
for such a massive plane thats fuckin impressive how the managed to try land on a small runway, good on them for trying, and hey, screw the plane, it's replaceable, the pilots aren't

That thing has powerful thrust reversers
“….overnight”…”seventy-two hours”.
English is hard I know. Do you want me to spell it out to you word for word? Try "mode" and "within" for starters.
The crash happened in 1975 not 1974
Should of let the gear down the whole time ⏲️ 😒 🙄 😕 😫 😪 ⏲️
