- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- After many years another USAF C-5 Galaxy arrived in Athens. During November 2022 we have the opportunity to capture during two flight the massive military transport aircraft on USAF.
The flights arrived on 7 and 12 November 2022 respectevly.
The first visit of C-5B Galaxy in history of Athens airport noticed on 2011.
We manage to capture some unique footagr of that spectacular giant with @SidewinderPlaneSpotting channel.

Greece is a beautiful country!
I love how all the cars slowed down to admire that amazing machine 🇺🇸🤌🏽
Let’s be honest they slowed down partly because they didn’t have any faith on that bridge

@@gidoras But the truth..🤣
I was in the US Navy for 35 years for 25 of those i was in the seals as a sniper me and my ùnit was flown in those c- 5 super Galaxy to all points around the world
Thank you for your service!
Beautiful touch down .
100% Energy
100% Good lyrics
100% Happy

Never ceases to amaze me how something that big can fly.
Amazing.
Thanks for uploading.
Thank you Dadiv, appriciated. I was a great moment also for us. Especially the moment with the train cross during line up
Noch keine AN - 225 gesehen 😁
In all seriousness, the C5 is a spectacular plane and a marvel. Landing gear turns to retract, and the B52s adjusts to crosswind landing. The engineering that went into the C5 and the B5s is amazing, we applaud all those involved.
GRACIAS AMERICA
Being a USAF VETERAN, the C5 must have been a amazing experience for the citizens of Greece. 🇺🇲🇬🇷
Big honor to fly the Galaxy. You are very lucky! We used to have C-141s before 2000 at old Athens airport. Now mostly C-17s which are also nice, but C-5 is something else.
@11AviationVideos I was a teenager in the 70's living 10 miles from Norton AFB in San Bernardino California. Every day at 6am, a group of 141s would take off with supplies and 18 year old troops going to Vietnam. At dusk, up to 15 starlifters would come home in V formation over the Inland Empire. It was an amazing site until one day, my dad and I went to the other side of the base to see them up close. I witnessed flag draped coffins being unloaded. I never went back to that side of the base.

Must be at the new airport. I flew C-9s into Hellenikon AFB, from 88-91, when the airport was right beside the Med. Beautiful approach and takeoff...Parthenon and Acropolis always in view. Also have 2500 hours in FRED. Flys like a small plane, but taxiing is a bitch...like moving a building with wings! Good times! God, I miss it!!
Pretty sure we maxed out the bridge on this trip. 😂
Props to the engineers 👍🏻
I wonder what the motorists were thinking
I believe all designs by the civil engineers are well past the maximum weights of the aircraft here. Maybe double the weight of the C-5 but definitely able to withstand a fully loaded Galaxy.
Wait til the globlemaster lands there that bridge will really be maxed out. The Globlemaster is the c 5 super galaxy sister
@@charleswright9024 The Globemaster is a little sister to the Galaxy.
Nope. The mighty AN-225 many times passed that bridge. And an AN-225 is 40% bigger than the C-5.
(The AN-225 fuel load is heavier than an empty Boeing 747)
They have an IKEA right by the airport in Athens. Kool.😊
I see the C-17 Globemaster quite a bit in Colorado Springs, CO but every once in awhile I get to see this absolute behemoth and it's a real treat! Those engines scream like a madman to keep that thing up in the air!

I used to live in Athens and never saw planes that big there! Wow thanks for sharing! Also USAF does a lot of patrols or exercises when they take off from Chania on the Greek island of Crete.
Yeah
It’s a proud reminder of what the greatest nation in the world was capable of creating before we became the greatest embarrassment in the world.
i remenber back in 90' how many flew via Germany for the first Gulf war. All with the old PW engines with that magic sound.
Amen , Biden..wat a luzer
Indeed.
You meant Building*.. this amerikkkan corporation never created ANYTHING
@@Crazyuncle1 Trump trash it this country
The landings alone are entirely next level piloting, not only once but consistently
Το ειχα δει να τροχοδρομει ενω ήμουν στον προαστιακο και να απογειώνεται μόλις βγήκα από τον σταθμό. Είχα πτήση εκείνη την μέρα.
BEST AIR FORCE PLANE EVER.
YES!!! But still i am missing the old P&W engines sound during take-off
The first time I saw this was amazing and wow wow 🇺🇲😮
❤57no indo dormir agora não se preocupe quenturay8 a oi linda tudo isso a sua mãe não se pode fazer o governo do estado de São
Greece is gorgeous. That overpass took the weight of our C5 loaded? Well engineered. Wish we could've pulled Greece as a liberty port when I was Active Duty. Looks like a wonderful place with really decent people. Great video.
Muito bom mesmo gostei parabéns pelo seu trabalho qui avião grande
Second C-5 shown conducting an approach and landing with no leading edge slats deployed. This is never considered an normal procedure but clearly an abnormal condition the flight crew was well trained for.
Thank you 🙏 beautiful city 🏙️ the birds 🦅🐤🐦🐧🦆chirping 🐥and the big airplane ✈️ cruising on the runway 🌈what a place to be 👍👏👍👏👍🎥
Thanks
Such a beautiful machine
hope to see it soon once more
Καλά, η εικόνα με το Galaxy πάνω στη γέφυρα είναι όλα τα λεφτά. Σοκ και δέος στα αυτοκίνητα από κάτω.
ηθελα και ενα τραινο αλλα δεν εκατσε. Περασε κατα το line-up στον 03L
imagine seeing that thing just parked on a bridge in your city/town. and driving under it! pah. insane, man.
GOD BLESS AMÉRICA 💪🏽🇺🇲
😂
@@VladislavSurkov-v4h Ta achando graça do q seu estrume?
Great video of the C-5 in Athens!! Go USAF! I Love Greece!
I used to ride that C5 on space available during active service. Its like climbing to the 4th floor to get to passenger compartment. Really huge and seating faces rear.
Lucky you. Hope to fly onboard a C-5 someday
Bravo GREECE , Dobro video - Spata Athen !

Thank you for sharing this awesome showcase of one of the most awesome military transport aircrafts!!! It always amazes me to watch this behemoth get off the ground and stay in the air! And yes I know the physics behind air travel but it still amazes me. Awesome stuff! Cheers!!!
To be honest I prefer it with the old engines. That magic sound during take-off is missing
Looks like a flying megalodon - large yet sleek and fast. Truly wondrous, the laws of physics that allows for this subdivision to fly.
Back in 1980 & 1981 I was stationed at Incirlik AB Turkey. Went through Athens several times. Better than Turkey.
Great job. That's an awe inspiring plane.
Sehr schöne Flugzeug,,,👍
Team Travis! NorCal.
Amazing! I love this!
SPEECHLESS, AWESOME 💜💜💜💜💜
BRAVO simply the best!
This is so cool!
Lovely capture . keep up the good work .
Thanks you very much, we promise.
The US Air Force had a base in Athens and 1 on Crete. My late husband and I were in Crete. We loved it there.
What a wonderful piece of aviation history. It was at one time the largest flying aircraft in the skies. Then the US decided it didn’t have to build anything bigger. We should really return to building modern versions of the Super Galaxy or at least design and build a new updated variant of it. It’s always been an absolute workhorse. You need 2 tanks and 3 Apache helicopters delivered fast the C-5 is your answer. I also miss the beautiful sound of the original P.W. engine. When you heard those you always knew a C-5 was near.
@1:42 traffic almost come to a stand still to see this beautiful plane, I know I would have probably pulled over lol.
WOW 😮
Um monstro noa ares !
👏👏👏
Beautiful settings and awesome C5 . How is that overbridge built to take such a massive weight ? Cheers from Australia.
The weight imit is 400t. A Qantas B747-400ER (Wunalla Dreaming) of 428t taxi over back in 2004. Also an Antonov An-225 taxi once over that bridge! But all cases the planes was not fully loaded so they were within limits.
My question is are the motorists slowing down because they're in sheer awe, or because they're a little nervous about driving under that bridge? Lol. Perhaps a little of both.
A tribute to the C-5 goes to the engineering of the MAGNIFICENCE JET PROPULSION DESIGNERS......
❤ti no trabalho em um pouco de dor e ok ok então eu acho o governo do estado de São Paulo para uiy87ho a sua vida e
I like the highway and take off shots mostly, well done and thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Our best wishes for a Happy New Year 🎈
@@11AviationVideos Thanks, you too.
C- 5 is a Big ass Plane😮
I'm not going to lie I totally thought the thumbnail was photoshopped
We are "playing fair" on this channel. We just love aviation. No reason to cheat.
I love C-5 Galaxy..
I have never seen it live...
Is there any way i can see C5 In northern virginia...
Or are there tours offered where we can get a chance to see these planes?
Thanks
nice.
I'm stalking that beautiful plane
I love airplanes
Best country in the planet 👌
Naaa, ok after Germany! 😂😂😂😂
If it was, it isn't anymore because of the corroding Govt and Justice system.

You have to be proud to be American however we got here God put us here God put everyone where they're at in and then he gave you free will
We had air show down Gold Coast other weekend! If had the money I would went to that! Video pictures are great on internet you look it up!!
God bless united state of America 🇺🇸
❤t77 na minha mãe vai fazer o governo do estado de São Paulo para uiy87ho a sua vida
Ok
God bless the United States of America
The American watch Mont the hand of God a thing of beauty this machine God's will in God we trust Amen
Looks like Antonov 124 to me. Great engineering behind these machines.
This is a T-tail
AN-124 is a piece of cow dung. This is coming from a C-5 pilot with 2500 hours in FRED. Believe me. Toured one in Cairo during the Gulf War. Cargo compartment isn't even pressurized! Crew has to screw down a submarine hatch to seal off the cargo area before takeoff. Also saw one take off from Kuwait City with 10 feet of the left wing missing...exposed wires and all...I am not making this stuff up. "Safety" is an unknown word to the Russians!
And it was built before the 124 as well.
Wow that plane is huge! It would be something to see that plane going over the bridge.
Офигеть!
That is amazing
we love to have it back anytime.
Very cool video.
波音真的是，很恐佈的公司❤
It is also this video from drivers view but not a Galaxy, but A380.
Wow! Amazing!
Is this real? How can a bridge
hold this heavy craft moving on it?
The taxiway bridge can hold 450.000 kg plane
It’s interesting that there’s never a sensation of going up or down hill on a plane during take off and landings.
It's soo big! That why i guess
@@11AviationVideos and likely cause you’re going so fast so quickly.
Beautiful setting of highways and runway, magnificent scenes of flights takeoff and landing.🇵🇰
My favorite scene is the one during line-up with the train pass
Από τα μεγαλύτερα αεροπλάνα
Great video!!!!♥️
I was a passenger on a C-5 twice. Oahu Hawaii to Travis AFB Ca. & back.
That thing has a sun roof.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a big C-5 galaxy.
7:31 for size comparison
Huge
All the cars lifting off the gas as the giant jet goes over the highway. 😅
yes!!!!!
It look good. Big plane. It go woooo woooo...I had to say it like that because if you use big words RUclips doesnt understand they will flag you.
Μακάρι να έρχονταν πιο συχνά!!
και να υπηρχε και κανενα Α με τους παλαιους τους P&W
must not have much or anything loaded in it to be able to take off like that. man. amazing but mind boggling. haha.
🛫✈️
We used to have an Air Force base there until they kicked us out. They couldn't wait until we left. Now what?
@@afvet5075 you mean at the old Hellenikon Airport?
great capture!
✈️💪👏👍😍
I never see a plane like this before. Unbelievable tecnología
I've never seen this plane before. Beautiful
It like the AN 124 except with a difference tail and different colours
If Russia Was Attacking Turkey From The Rear, Do You Think Greece Would Help Turkey?
As we are NATO members we have to do so. It is a written alliance. Maybe too complicated sometimes. I cannot tell you much about politics. I am just an aviation fan
If they have brains they would join Russia.
Antonov an225 + boeing c 17 = super galaxy
الله معهم ويكون معهم
Have flown on the old C-141-A's to West Germany and back and got to walk through a C-5 at an airshow at Grissom AFB (now Grissom ARB). It's like a Barn with wings!
Starlifter was another big love. Sad there is no one in service
I always thought it was cool that there are airline seat on the upper deck rear end of the plane above the cargo. Yeah there are a few up front along with bunks for the flight crew. Just always thought that configuration was kinda neat. It was designed that way because they couldn’t put seating over the wings due to the wing spars. They would have had to lift the wings even higher.
Trust me, but the C-5 is ten times louder than what you hear.
How time flies feel like I was flying those yesterday now I fly for ups, and better pay I must add lol
If Iwas driving on the interstate highway and saw a behemoth like C-5 crossing over a bridge like shown in the is clip I would pull over and wait until it crossed over and then cleaned out my shorts.
amazing footage
Good looker. Would love to see it from the close up.
Watched as most vehicles on road didn't stay between the lines while it passed...
