TRUMP UK VISIT: 2 US Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy's AWESOME Landings & Takeoffs (Prestwick Airport)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Two US Air Force (USAF) C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft arrived at Prestwick on the 11th July 2018 to drop off personnel, vehicles and equipment in preparation for Donald Trump's visit to Scotland on the 13th July. This video shows both of the C-5M Galaxy's that visited Glasgow Prestwick Airport that day landing, taxying to the apron, unloading and later departing. Look at how quickly they get off the ground on takeoff too! They were heading for RAF Lakenheath, UK and Ramstein Air Base, Germany respectively.

I was a flight engineer for 23 years with over 7,300 hours on these planes. I've been retired for 18 years now and I still miss it everyday. I thank the person who filmed this operation and put it out here so old guys like me can relive our past.
And I used to ferry Phil around in his C-5 :)
Wow, thankyou for sharing your story. I can imagine you miss them a lot. They are brilliant machines. I filmed all of this and I appreciate your kind words. Thankyou 😃
If you don't mind me asking Phillip, where were you stationed? I spent a brief period of time at Altus AFB in Oklahoma and saw a lot of the Galaxy. Amazing plane.
I started at Travis AFB, then went to Altus for 3 years from 84 to 87 and then went to Dover AFB.
Dozens and dozens of retired crewmembers have seen this video - we are all thanking you for posting it.
I’m always in awe of how such enormous pieces of metal can get off the ground. Engineering marvel for sure.
The key is "speed"
It's got 4 engines Vs the a320's Two.
It absolutely is I work on them and I'm amazed everyday at how it takes off not only itself but with 2 m1 Abrams it's honestly wizardry 🤣
I agree. I always wonder how cans small tires like that hold up something that weighs so much
Engines look so small for this plane.
I retired as an air traffic controller 2 years ago. I lost count the number of times I mentioned REACH in my transmissions. Amazing crew, all the time. We always admired their professionalism. You are the guys who always make America great. Miss my job but thankfully it’s these amazing videos that make my day. Thanks for the uploading. To the Controllers, you are appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Whats the significance of "REACH"
@@pino6247 Hi, hope this helps answer your question.
The FAA 3 letter designation code RCH aka "REACH" is the call sign used for U.S. Airforce, Air Mobility Command (USAFAMC)
Total respect to you for for doing that job! Your role is so vital in keeping all the planes organized in the sky & huge responsibility! Congrats on your retirement.
That first C5 was looking at that Ryanair like it was a snack :D
That is SO funny like Finding Nemo!
Vince Abate - Certainly does!
The C-5 would eat that 737 alive lol
Robert Taylor - Yep! I reckon it would swallow it whole!
I was just thinking that 😂
These planes are stationed just outside my home town, hope you Brits enjoyed the show! I know there's tons of aircraft enthusiasts out there always at the Mach loop, and I appreciate you all sharing that show
jt hohl - I’m guessing that you don’t mean these 2 planes specifically, since one is from Dover and the other from Travis.
I was a loadmaster on the C-5 for 12 years and I retired with over 7700 hours. Loved that airplane.
Please visit sri lanka ☺
Me too but im still working on them
2:08 - That RyanAir is like, _"Just keep moving. Don't look back. Act normal, maybe they won't notice us..."_ ;-)
Haha 😂 Thanks for watching!
is like?
Robert Zeurunkl
hahhahaha
Meanwhile-
RAYANAIR: I have seen worse.... Its like Deja Vu.....
ruclips.net/video/vRpCNFShj1w/видео.html
It's amazing how fast they rotate & lift off with no load! Just doesn't seem right even with 30 years in the industry!
Smooth & elegant!!
Its really amazing how such a huge plane can make a short field take off. It did it so gracefully. What a machine!!!
Little or no load for any aircraft equals a much shorter takeoff. There are C-5 videos on YT that show the other extreme - heavy load, engine runup while standing on the brakes, straining engines, slow acceleration, and a lonnnng takeoff roll, like this one -
ruclips.net/video/1Psty8yCewc/видео.html&ab_channel=dasspr
> 13:56 < take-off
There are people who get up, go to work, and engineer, build, and maintain these things which actually work as intended. Amazing.
My dad was an aerospace engineer & did structural engineering design & upgrade work on these things in the 60's & '70's. The guys who designed these things are long gone now. Not too many things designed now will still be around in 5 decades. RIP dad.
@@jackandblaze5956 ....I worked at the NASA base DRYDEN, at Edwards AFB. The men and women who designed, and built the shuttles and the space vehicles are gone now too. So many were so talented, and to think they designed, and BUILT the space vehicles using SLIDE RULES, and NOT computers !!
@@siseley1 - oh yeah! I had forgotten about that. He had those - that was even before calculators!
MAGA 2020
@Ted The American that statistic is so wrong.
Both pilots touched those giant birds down so amazingly soft. Professionalism at it's best.
Landing a heavy belly like that is quiet smooth and easy..doesnt sway off easily
First was a little rough. Second never felt it.
Thanks for watching. Captain and shift commander LaBonte air mobility command. U. S. A. F. PATRIOT WING
The world's best video game on steroids is a C5 simulator and only the best US AF pilots are qualified for it.
Yes, the autopilot works very well.
As an Air Force fighter pilot, I never get tired of watching these big birds take off and land!
Seeing the commercial jet and the C5 together in the same frame gives one a very good feeling for the true size of these planes.
C5 it a big airplane. And she can hall ass....lol
I find these amazing to look at. Shape, size, color, glide in, glide up, power.
20 years ago I was at Westover AFB and watched an entire wing take off one after another. The word CRAZY still comes to mind.
I remember seeing that at Carswell, with B52s seconds apart.
I lived a mile from Westover on the other side of Memorial Drive for 20 years. Loved hearing these things fly over the house all the time.
Having been an engineer at Lockheed Georgia in early creation of the C5 - it gives me chills watching it land! Beautiful aircraft and awesome pilots that fly them!
Both fight crews exhibited the highest level of professionalism when dealing with ATC.
Of course. Think about it like this, you're somewhat of a representative of your nation when visiting foreign nations, and it behooves you to act with utmost professionalism. Not to mention they'd get hemmed up by superiors if they didn't, and that's always a good motivator by itself lol
@@pino6247 We were always professional it's part of the job.
@J Mos, what else would you expect? Especially in an unfamiliar airport. Did you expect them to land with, Durkha durkhastan team America theme tune playing?
I think the ATC talked too much, but that is me. I was in the Air Force and was at Norton AFB, then onto March AFB and worked on C-141's and an occasional C-5. ATC doesn't talk that much from ATC US AFB's.
I never knew they had a guy pop up out of the aircraft over the cockpit to help taxi. Impressive.
I saw many of these back in "71-'72 while stationed in Okinawa. One night, I was guarding one when out of the blue, one of the head maintenance crew working on it asked me if I wanted to come aboard and look around. It was an amazing experience. I even made it to the top of the tail section and looked out. It was like stepping through a erector set to get to the top.
They do this 24x7 rain or shine anywhere. Hats off to the women and men who make it possible.
Jon Bylin
Simply put,
We Wish for peace,Be prepared for war.
Yes amazing stuff they do.
Computers
I flew in a C-5A from Japan to Alaska, the modern civilian like passenger compartment was right behind the cockpit located above and forward of the jet intakes. All in all, it was a quiet extremely stable comfortable flight.
The downside was its creepy feeling complete lack of windows.
Not to mention sitting facing the rear of the aircraft...lol
The USAF, fly high and fast, and land soft. These guys are the best.
After the RAF
@@123-NORTH-STREET Actually after the RAAF mate....Just sayin!
Peter Rimmer keep dreaming
LOVE MILITARY ACFT, HATS OFF TO PILOTS. GREAT JOB. I RET. USAF 20 YRS 1979. 64570
Peter Rimmer before
Those two Planes are Majestic, beauty in motion. The way they fly, land, maneuver and take off again is inspirational!
I was so lucky to do work (as a contractor R & D) for the Marines, Navy, Army & Air Force! The proudest times of my life working to update Army surgical hospitals, cooling AF fighter jets' computer gear on the ground, upgrading start carts for aircraft carriers & Abrams tanks for our Marines engaged in "Silent Watch" (& then for our Army)!
Thank you all for your service!! I love you my brothers & sisters & all the time we spent together to make it right!
Have to hand it over to the US, they know how to make a entrance
US, we salute you!
The respect is mutual, mate. Atleast for 51% of your population lol.
Yea, I have to hand it to them...
That was all before Air Force One even touches down.. well prepared! 🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💯
As a US citizen, this was pretty cool - and i can represent some of the good people that live here, although there are alot of turds lol 😂😅 Thank you our UK brothers and sisters! Ally's forever!
Looked like they rotated in about 4 plane lengths! Great job! They were nearly back up in the clouds before they crossed the boundary fence. I'll take that performance boost of the M over the trademark whine of the As and Bs. They used to upgrade these at the plant near my house so I got to see C5s flying fairly regularly. Same plant that built the F22 so I got to see them all fly before getting painted as well.
I loved the whine of the TF-39s and I miss it even today.
C5 A/Bs are one of a handful of aircraft you can identify unquestionably by sound before you see it. V22 and CH53s fall in that category. Just like the CH46/47 twin rotors. Very distinct sounds.
YEAH:D It was just awesome to see their takeoff performance, just unbelievable for such a huge aircraft. This was my first time seeing a C5, you were very lucky to see them flying regularly:) Thankyou very much for watching! 😁
M Hamma you and I must be neighbors in Marietta...
I flew twice in a C5 back in 1985 when I was in the Marines. We flew to Egypt in a military operation named Bright Star. We spent 21 days in Alexandria, out in the desert. We basically did nothing but clean weapons on a daily basis because so much dust. On the day b4 leaving we visited the pyramids. That made the trip worth it.
Thankfully I get to see this everyday living next to Dover airforce base and in the flight path .
Dirt cheap farmer they fly nice and low over Rising Sun.
@@wfdix1 I'm right at barkers landing so I know what you mean
This is my favorite aircraft of all time! I grew up around and still live around the Lackland/Kelly AFB area and these fly patterns every single day. The engine sound is unique and so sweet to hear!
Myself a retired NCO still get tears watching these videos, brings back the days when flying from Tinker AFB to Diego Garcia a 33 hour flight :) on a camo C5 back then. Great video!
C5 = พันเอก(พิเศษ) เป็นผู้ใหญ่แล้ว อายุงานนั้นๆ ใช้ไหมนะ ขออภัยครับ Hi
two USAF C5-M from opposite sides of the country. first one to land from dover AFB in Delaware and second to land from Travis AFB in California.
These big birds were landed by sheer professionals, the airport at Prestwick is now full of C5's ...good work pilots.
When I was a boy of 10 we landed at Prestwick, my Gran lived in Prestwick. That was 59 years ago
Beautiful Aircraft, I have flown on the C-5 you sit up top in the back, you can see the little bump just in front of the tail.
Had a friend who survived the C-5 crash at Ramstein. He said it was like being tumbled inside a dryer and had no idea where he would end up. Most disturbing thing to me riding upstairs and facing backward was having no windows and no visual reference to what was going on outside. Good times!
@@ozarkmedia ...I had some friends watch that C5 go down. It was 1990 or 1991 if I recall.
Congratulations to those who shot this video. I have gone through 5 times still finding it amazing. The planes, pilots, landing, taking off unimaginable. It's like a movie. Watching from Cameroon, Africa
Thankyou 😀
Watching from Florida, US this is like a movie to me too. i think its my 3rd time watching 😀
That Ryanair plane ahead of the C-5 is hilarious.
aeroAdvocate I mean talk about a intimidating vehicle behind you
@2:00 - Exactly my thought!
I wonder if that was Mentour Pilot at the helm?
Hay. I subscribe to his RUclips channel too. Small world :)
aeroAdvocate
Prestwick is Ryanair’s hub in Scotland.
Two big beasties - absolutely fantastic. Greetings from the U.K. 🇬🇧
Greetings from a proud American, currently living in Cambodia!😀

I know both of those tail numbers. Worked on C-5 A, B and M for 16 yrs at Robins AFB Depot. Strip and Build-up Crew.
I remember seeing the C5As landing at Newburgh in the 60s. The sound of those engines were very distinct. Do the newer C5s still have the same sound?
Zooboo Blotsky It's a different sound now. M model C-5 have new GE engines.
I’ve never flown the bird, but was invited to spend time in the newest simulator at my local AFR base (Thank You, Westover, for your humbling generosity!)
To say it was challenging is an understatement, but it was a hell of a lot of fun.
(Thanks to my CFI, Bob for the MUCH needed encouragement and assistance. He is a Gentlemen among Gentlemen!)
For the record, it flies like a football field!!!
(Thank you Bob, for NOT filling the cockpit with smoke! 😁🤣👍 He could have, you know!)
Did you guys notice how fast these airplanes took off? These planes are huge, I counted 10 sec!
huge and empty.
Fascinating, but irritating accelerated sequences. Either leave as is, or edit out.
Lots of good thrust from the jets.
These plane are actually extremely light when empty they can take off pretty fast full too but yeah lot of power coming out those engines
Well, at that point they were unladen, and those mills put out an AWFUL lot of thrust.
C-5M to RYANAIR: "Get in ma belly!"
I like the gorilla tape over the cockpit to hold it together!
That plane is a Fat Basterd in more ways than one.
Lol!
The five seconds 00:40 to 00:45 suspension of the front landing gear in the air and at 15:24 the rock solid precision turning with power N speed are all masterpiece of the art of flying ...what a beautiful bird, almost innocent looking
Those Landings were smooth as butter if they were in the Olympics they would have got a perfect 10 perfect stick
Awesome! Thank you ALL for your service to our nation and the world!
But the US is messing up the world over, what service are you talking about?
@@sicelomngomezulu7575 Bullying service
It still amazes me how quickly those big birds get those wheels off the deck on take off.
Big wings = shorter takeoff time
New engines help a lot
I lived on Travis AFB military airlift command base , we used to sit out by the flight line and watch the c-5 Galaxys touch and go's 👍
Richard Chouinard, It's difficult to imagine this behemoth doing touch and goes. Amazing. The flying whale.
I rarely use the word awesome as it is so overused by the ineloquent nowadays but on this one occasion - AWESOME!
Thankyou for watching 😃
I have to come back for another look at the C-5 ‘s every few months. They are so beautiful they make me tear up every time. My family is full of Air Force Pilots and it just holds a special place in my heart. It’s a real treat having Barksdale in my backyard and watching those B52 Stratafortress in all their glory.
That's great Pam ...I'm Eugine from Kenya ..can we be friends ...0758233326
I was the only squid on board one crossing the pond to go to Somalia in 93, That was an awesome flight I won't ever forget. Had to land though half way across the pond to repair a cracked windshield. Other than that it was a flawless experience. I'm proud to have served. God Bless America!!!
No time for a cup of tea for these pilots. Awesome machines.
Just beautiful, especially when it is done for protection and well being of our awesome President overseas, I wish I had the opportunity to interview the pilots. These guys are extremely well trained. Thank you for this perfect angled video.
You're welcome, thanks for watching 😊
This was done for Trump, it was not done for an awesome president. You mixed up badly here.
The pilot of the 2nd plane is a bad dude! Handles that plane like a car.
Some of the taxi footage was sped up
*I literally just watched two of these take off from my tarmac here at JFK. :)*
Ah cool! 😊 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching. Captain and shift commander LaBonte air mobility command. U. S. A. F. Patriot wing
Nice, but just for your future reference, there is no such thing as a tarmac. that is a Hollywood term. Tarmac actually refers to the material that is used to create a Ramp, Runway, or Apron that is a mixture of rock and tar - similar to asphalt.
Galaxy C-5: Hey man, what’s good?
Ryanair: Yh I’m good
I’m in my 60’s now !!
My Aunt n Uncle lived across the freeway from Lackland San Antonio TeXaS !!!!
As a Kid these Galaxy’s were maintained there !!
When they flew behind their home ! They were on approach landing ! Looked more like they were floating than flyin !!!!! Wonderful machines !!
GREAT Vid. ! Hope the Brit’s liked the show !!
Thanks for the warm welcome m Recognition Trump was showed !!
❤️🙏🙏👍🏼🖖🎶🎶🇨🇱🖖🖖🖖🖖
I used to work on the C-5As. I love the look of the Galaxies flying through the low clouds. Thanks for video.
Turning and short take off was impressive, skilled pilots.
Occasionally I'll see one of these, or the C-17, or better yet a AN-124 approaching to land at Davis-Mothan AFB here in Tucson and marvel at how slow they all seem to be going through the air when viewed from a distance. The Galaxy has always been one of my favorite "big-birds" of the world.... Thanks for this great footage!
Awesome! 👌😀 Thanks very much Jeff.
Look! It’s Charizard!
Me and my grandma always used to call the C5’s “Charizard” when my dad used to be a loadmaster.
My uncle mike still flies the C5’s.
Somebody should give this cameraman a raise, LOL
Haha thanks:D
I am from Atlanta, Marietta in NW ATL is where the C5's were made first, I remember when the first one was made and showed to the public at a May Day celebration. My Dad worked as a Worldwide Tech Rep for them, thoroughly enjoyed seeing these thanks for the great video!!!!
It is absolutely crazy how quickly those things leave the ground!!! It seems like a quarter of the distance it takes for every other plane! I don't think it's just the size difference that makes this look like it does either!
The newer GE engines for the C-5M helps reduce takeoff distance with more thrust.
Even considering they were empty, those take-off rolls & rotations were impressive, those GE CF6 engines are real monsters. Nice video my friend!!
I totally agree, amazing bits of machinery! Thankyou very much 😁
LOVE the sound of the original TF-39s, but the upgrade to CF6 gives the Galaxy better performance.
That takeoff roll! Who knew a C5 was a STOL aircraft. Incredible. Thanks for posting this vid.
Amazingtake,,off
THATS A MONSTER OF A PLANE, THE PILOT LOOKS SO SMALL. AMAZING HOW ENGINEERS CAN MAKE A PLANE SO HUGE AND IT ACTUALLY FLIES.. PLUS THE CRAZY PAY LOADS OF TANKS, ETC.
Those C5’s are magnificent beasts!!!
& yes they are beasts! At "Luke Days" at Luke AFB you can do a walk thru. You can almost play football in there!
Such a symbol of Americas Might and Power!!!! Love this plane!
That is some genuinely amazing footage. Fantastic work.
Thankyou very much Alex 😃
Alex Praglowski Aviation what great footage
My son-in-law flew these monsters. How he did it? Like current pilots. Great job you guys. America proud.
@@tomcrkvenac612 It has been said that; "God created the light....and the C-5 creates the dark when it comes over " !
I worked on C-5s from 1999 to 2001 for Lockheed doing floor beam and floor panel replacements at Westover ARS in Massachusetts. All upper galley section.
When we pulled up the floors, sand from the first gulf war was crusted all in between the metal.
Awesome fun job.
From there I hooked up with Raytheon Aerospace and went to Stewart AFB in NY and did window post modifications on the C-5s there.
Served At Rammstein airbase west Germany in the 80s,C5’s taken off seemed like you could walk faster than the C5 on take off amazing to watch lift off,Proud and lucky to of been a called United States Air Force Airman.
These guys make it look so easy to pilot these beasts. Both landings were near perfect but the second landing was smooth as silk. Unreal really that such a beast of a machine can be operated flawlessly from point A to point B. Truly amazing when you really think about it. 👍🇺🇸
The C5 is years old now but still bloody impressive aircraft.
Please visit sri lanka☺
These C5 showing the Ryan Air the definition of a smooth landing
Most people probably missed it, but I like the way the aircraft, will squat, or kneel, as its ramp comes down and begins unloading. Very cool.
The Russian versions (Antonov AN124 and AN225) also squat in the front to load cargo.
2nd landing was perfect. Wow.
Both were.
One of the most iconic airplanes ever 👍🏻 with new avionics and well upgrated
My god! What a machine! Get to watch them take off next to my golf course! Sound is amazing
wow... 24 seconds and its in the air already. nice take off
My one and only ride on one of these was in March of 1970 when I was medivac'd back to the USA from Vietnam to Camp Zama and then Wright Patterson AFB. Awesome plain period.
20 seconds from full throttle to airborne. Unbelievable!!
Awesome and an ILS approach in actual conditions too.
C5M is amazing, upgraded engines make it an agile beast!
It is incredible isn't it 😆 Thanks for watching!
A couple of exceptional and rare shots: 9:30 The plane is squatting to lower the cargo deck. 13:30 A good shot of the rear wheel steering.
Thankyou very much, glad you liked the shots. Cheers!
Who are these pilots? Those landings were perfect. Better than any F-15 landings on youtube. I was once on a passenger plane with landings like these 2, and the whole cabin broke out in spontaneous applause. There are pilots, and then there are PILOTS.
These things make a majestic whooshing sound, and when you see one something important is happening...
Awesome aircraft. Touring the interior was amazing. You can still hear that whine.
Thankyou very much 😁 I am so jealous, I would love to go inside one of these!
Jean Stern yes, while stationed at ramstein ab, when both ends of the bird were open, myself and other airmen used to play football inside !!!! and what many people Don't know, the front of the aircraft would kneel down so cargo could be loaded and off-loaded much easier! !!!! "76-78" AFSC 63150 REFUELING SQUADRON (USAF)
Yes I noticed this actually, I have never seen that before - incredible!
That's the way we do things In the United States Air Force,outstanding.I miss it.
That’s for others to say. Self praise is worthless and often unwarranted.
George Williams I was a crew chief then engineer on C5'S 24 years I miss it too
Wow! What an amazing bird! Beautiful! I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I saw that Ryanair plane pull out in front of that C5.lol if a plane could crap itself, that one did! Lol
i WAS STATIONED AT cHARLESTON afb IN 1970 WHEN THESE PLANES WERE BEING DELIVERED FROM THE FACTORY. HARD TO BELIEVE ITS BEEN ALMOST 50 YEARS NOW
Hey me too Phil. John Nason here loadmaster on these for 22 years and 7400 hours on the C5. Thanks
John Appliance guy I remember you John...
Fantastic takeoff!
The USAF C-5M achieves a top-takeoff speed really fast like a Porsche Taycan Turbo S.
Its thrilling!
Side Note... Aim High 9th. You all have my respect and gratitude. keep up the good work, lookin up for yall to wish u well both coming and going.
Great planes and so is the film.
Thankyou very much! 😁
I was a jet engine mechanic in the USAF in the very early '90s at Dover AFB when these beasts still had the TF-39s and the older flight deck among other things. What a great and awesome aircraft it still is to this day.
Dover AFB, early 80's. Flight Surgeon's Office. I try to visit every few years and also hit Ocean City. Dover has a Flight museum which is fantastic. Go see it if you can.
@@lizard944 I have often I still live close by. It's awesome. I live a few miles south of Dover now.
@@VettemanLT5 Lucky you! When I retire that area will be on my short list of places to be. My wife has friends and family that visit from all over the world. Our routine is to take them to Wash, DC, Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, VA, Dover to hit the Casino and Museum, Ocean city for a few days and mandatory stop at "Crabs To Go" in Berlin, MD, then to Niagara Falls. Pretty sure we're the best hosts on the planet...LOL. Cheers.

Thank you for the video of these amazing aircraft! Loved seeing all aspects of their arrival through takeoff.
You are welcome! Thankyou for watching the video 😆
Mraviationguy
As big and as beautiful as these birds are the pilots have them turning on a dime and landing smoother and softer than passager jets! Cudos to the pilots and crew for a job well done.
Loved flying in that plane, as a space-A passenger. Most symbolic flight was Dover AFB west, to Hickam AFB . . . with gas refill at Travis AFB. The symbolism to form of New Years . . . which was selebrated twice. First time, at +30,000 feet, on a C-5 aircraft. Second time, in the Officer's Club of Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Don't think I'll ever experience that again . . .
