*VERY RARE* 2 USAF Lockheed C5M Super Galaxy Takeoffs at Prestwick Airport

Hi all. On Sunday 24th September 2017, Prestwick got two superb diverts in the forum of two USAF Lockheed C5M Super Galaxys. They originally were meant to be stopping off in Keflavik, before heading to America. However with gusts of 80 knots, the winds were well above the aircrafts operation limits, so the diverted to Prestwick for a night stop instead, hoping for the weather to improve. They eventually departed Prestwick in the late afternoon, within an hour of each other. I hope you all enjoy.

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching :)

[@kimc3024]

[@dogisrain]

I love how the landing gear retracts.

[@DanielSander]

Same here, thanks for Watching :)

[@timothycook2917]

Fun fact: Each landing gear assembly on a C-5 costs $750,000

[@yoliehines4399]

Wow !! Súper Awesome !! 👍

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching :)

[@sankacoffee1]

cool the college I was at in Scotland at the end of the '90s was only about 3 miles from Prestwick and these were a common sight back then

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching, Ayrshire college?

[@TheHDAviation]

Epic catches, the C-5 is such a beast!

[@DanielSander]

Thanks Mate, can't beat a classic C5.

[@romeogrigoras5221]

Great engine sound. But still it can beat the sound of old TF39. Never!

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching. Seeing both the C5B & C5M in person I completely agree with you.

[@aviationvideos]

Great views and sound of these Lockheed C5 Super Galaxies and love that view under the belly as the gear rotates before being retracted.

[@DanielSander]

Thanks Mate, yeah the rotating gear is really cool.

[@garyjohnson2879]

that is some serious power

[@DK-lc8gf]

Awesome!

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching :)

[@cochoa12]

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching :)

[@huynguyen4456]

Beautiful video. Like and sub!

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching and for the Sub :)

[@vbb148]

At 4:00 (prior to and after that time) on the roof behind the cockpit it looked as though there was a man sticking his head and up to his mid torso; looking out over the top of the plane. Did I see that right?

[@SuperRavens99]

vbb148 he guides the pilots through the parking lot and to the taxi way then the pilots take it from there

[@wwill2516]

vbb148 I would guess, pre flight ck list of maybe generator, re fuel, ??

[@bobbywingnut6749]

The C5 engines... you can't mistake them 🙂

[@markpatterson2507]

Hallowed golfing grounds are close by.Youre lucky there.

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching :)

[@alanhigh8125]

With the new, more powerful engines, these aren't much louder than a commercial airliner.

[@pbellbell]

ausim what a monster --lov the u. s. a .---us navy.

[@elijahdiaz2897]

I’ve heard these engines before

[@lol-ug2ry]

TF39>>>CF6>>>Low Bypass Engines

[@PlanesAndGames732]

Turboprops>PW1000 Family>GE90>TF39>CF6>TF33>Turbojets

[@bobbywingnut6749]

2 C5s? Both from 1986..... Thanks

[@DanielSander]

Indeed, thanks for watching.

[@romeogrigoras5221]

Same thing with Boeing. 748 it will be better to work at engines sound. Cause those GENX, dont have to many to do with an B747... .

[@jalilmuhammad8270]

All TF39s are things of the past as of now.

[@vurkzy8432]

Sounds like a 767

[@didierbokungu5542]

Like TF39 engine sounds…

[@DanielSander]

Same here, thanks for watching.

[@fatimahrabah9201]

How can something so big lift up and takeoff so fast? Because it has my DC-10 sounding engines that's why. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@kennethaliantluanga1370]

3 I need c5m galaxy on tiny small nation Mizo ancient times history made happy all time hei Ka behliang over faith me.tribal

[@andrewandreas2625]

They sound utterly boring compared to the original engines.

[@DanielSander]

Completely agree, been fortunate to film a C5B as well. Thanks for Watching :)

[@billyabell9378]

No room for fuel at the inn on CONair. What a remarkable peice of technology w hidden attributes that would make most folks in this compartmentalized world go nutso. I must be out of my mind. Maybe I need to watch some more documentaries and get back on the ball everyone thinks they live on. No offence though. I'm the flathead assuming flat means level but I didn't come up with the name. One needs not to name call when destroying illusions. Name calling is just ones way of beating around irrefutable evidence that challenges ones belief system.

[@NoTaboos]

Very rare clickbait bullshit.
