@@michaeltipton5500 I first heard the screaming sirens sound of the C5A as a kid in the early 70's when prop aircraft were the normal sound I would hear. It would make the hair on my neck stand as it was like nothing I'd ever heard. 30 some years later in the 2000's I lived in the flight path to NGU Norfolk and they were regulars passing overhead and looking like they were moving so slow they'd fall out of the sky but the TF-39's were screaming a holy hell of a sound and once landed the reverse thruster sound was equally impressive.
@@davidcarter805 Yes they were. Never flew in one but I did fly in a C-141 a few times on space A. I once got to go into the cockpit in mid-flight and talk to the crew while it was flying. That was a big thrill for a 20-year-old guy who didn't get to fly.
I bet these guys once they do their bit, or retire from the USAF will probably fly for a commercial carrier. It would be a step down from a driving semi to a RAV 4..
Must be the newer C5M. It was so quiet. I miss the old TF39 growl.
Me too. That was the sound of get the hell out of the way.
Yeah I think they're all M's now. All the rest are in the boneyard. I miss the TF39 too.

Amazed how silent the bird was in the cockpit and how fast it went from dead still to rotation.
Old Crew Chief C-130E 1966-1969 61ST TAS.
This is beyond beautiful, i have seen it all my life this beauty taking off and landing, will always be my Fav Cargo plane
Dang, that bird could not wait to get off the ground. The engineering behind getting these behemoths airborne blows me away.

Not all of them do. Some even fly corporate.
International cargo is where the money is at.
What a beautiful cockpit that is
Coole jungs..👍
Excelentes pilotos!
Must be empty, with how fast it got off the ground.
love it !!
2,239 gallons per hour, per engine at full power!
Awesome 👍✈️
Cadillac of the sky
Dover?
Look how tiny that runway is 😁
yep, fuel flow was really 60,000 lbs/hr at takeoff power.....
Those new engines sound terrible!
Those new engines are better in every respect.
Man that gear handle was red forever!!!!!
Was that Fort Bragg?
Lackland crew but it looked like it might be Dover. Doesn't look like Pope.
@@bob80q it's not Dover.
its fort hood!
Barely looked like it was going 50mph when it lifted off.
So silent.
she's empty
