Very interesting show..
I used to see and hear the C-5’s flying out of and into Memphis from the TN Air National Guard’s 164th Airlift Wing, right behind my house. I loved the sound of those massive engines. They’ve all been replaced now with the C-17’s. I was always amazed at how slow the C-5’s seemed to fly as they were on approach for landing. Something that large, moving that slow but still airborne.
I miss the sound of those 1st gen turbofans. When I was young, in the early 90s, they used to roar past my grandmothers house 10+ times a day. Now when the refitted C5’s land you can barely hear them.
@@JimmyDoresHairDye I think I still have a video of a C5 doing some training loops around my house from several years ago. 👍
A brilliant doco, thanks for showing us. cheers from NZ
Amazing video. Thx for sharing !!
Who needs healthcare when we can have these super cool attack planes!!!
First line C-5's used the GE TF-39 engines, later the TF-39-GE-1C. The C-5M (aka the Super Galaxy) utilized GE CF6 (F138-GE-100) engines.
I was at March AFB when the first C5a was on display, that was April of 1970. Very impressive aircraft.
In a hot climate, I was always very appreciative of how much shade the wings gave. 😂 As a loadmaster on C141s, that was the only thing that I was envious about.
Thank you for sharing
🎖️🙏🤗
I watch them frequently at Kelly Field in San Antonio doing touch-and-go landings. Just awesome raw horsepower at its finest.
If there ever was a beauty pagent for heavy military aircraft, I believe the C17 would be a hard beauty to beat.
It's more impressive that it can take to the air at that weight.
AN225 705 tons but some Aholes blew it up just because they could.
They didn't get the spare though...
@@TrevorSachko the spare was never completed never flew and will never be finished
@@robertbolding4182 Well you got the first two right, grammar is total shit though.
Everybody misses the AN225. Sad.
@@TrevorSachko is
This is fantastic performance from the US military 🎖️
I remember that giant flying over Decalb County during test flights when I lived in Atlanta. No one could believe how huge it was.
The Russians have a bigger one.
@@douglastaylor1770 What is it called?
I used to watch these takeoff and land all the time at Soto Cano. Always amazed to watch.
Alsome video. Thank you.
Love the mighty Herc. Long may she continue to fly.
When this aircraft came into existence, the U.S. military still had the M-151 Jeep, the 2 1/2 T "deucer" and all the rest of the narrow wheel base vehicles. What this translated to is being able to lift two to three times the amount of current capacity at a time. During the Cold War this enabled a large combat unit to deploy anywhere in the world with all equipment needed and fewer airlifts. The U.S.S.R. was very happy since a conventional war likely would have been fought in nearby Europe and they were already deployed.
😊😊😊
in (f***ing) credible. this level of technical sophistication and cost. it must cost a million a day to operate these monsters
They used to do night maneuvers and training with those big beasts when I was growing up in the 80s they flew probably 800 to 1000 feet above ground at night would scare the crap out of us 😀
Imagine the pioneers of aviation from all over the world seeing this C5 plane take off, land and see the cargo coming out of it. I think they would be floored by how far aviation has come since they tried to figure out how to get airborne in the first place.
No doubt, I always wonder the same...
Would've been epic if they were still alive :(
imagine one of these C5's landing while the romans and roman warlords are shitting bricks in their chariots. watching their arrows bounce off of it
@@o0o-jd-o0o95 That's funny! I actually imagined that and, thanks to Monty Python as well as Mel Brooks, one does not need a whole lot of fantasy to imagine that.
Good work 👍
Flew home in a C5 when my grandfather passed away in the 80's!
It's something I'll never forget! We sat in cargo nets and are lunch was in a brown paper bag and had a Hershey bar in it!!
I don't know why but that's what I remember about it except for how cold it was!
If you flew in a C-5 you would've been up in the troop compartment in airline seats not on cargo net seats which I've been on...on a C-130 and it sucked. C-5 is a great ride.
@@jumpingjeffflash9946 he was probably on a C-141
Bin überwältigt von diesen Flugzeug Typ der USA Air Force. Danke für die schöne bilder bitte mehr da von ein Fan aus Krefeld.💝
*_Antonov 225 be like Hold my Jet Engines._*
WOW VERY NICE VEDIO OR I LOVE US AIR FORCE
Saw a Galaxy flying overhead on my way to Washington state. It's distinct shape so big and easy to see. Magnificent plane.
This is a 436th bird. Dover AFB where I was stationed 30 years ago when they had the old TF-39s (on which I worked) and the ancient avionics. It's awesome how quiet they are now they sound damn near like a large airliner.
THESE JET ENGINES OF GREAT SIZE ARE SO GIGANTIC THAT THEY CAN TAKE OFF AND STOP THIS 4 TON AIRPLANE THROUGH AN AFTERBURN !!!!!!
A VERY AMAZING INVENTION BY THE ENGINEERS.
Interesting video. However the the statement at 3:40 that the engine is being removed from the cowling that attaches it to the aircraft is incorrect. The engine is supported by the pylon. The cowling is an aerodynamic shell created around the engine.
Nice to see the more up-to-date C-5 with it's improvements than when my brother used to pilot them. Before that, he was on the C-141 which was replaced by the C-17. Also, I'm proud to see more women now serving right along with the tasks the men do!
I wondered with all the talk of C-17's what happened to old C-141A's that I worked on & you explained it . I was at work on C-5A day the Wing Commander at location when they loaded Greyhound Busses on one & flew by Computer around Town & then landed . Yes a pilot was aboard but it was flown by Computer in Take-off & landing .
Thank you very much.
Long story so I want go into detail, but I was the Marine G-4 Operations Officer for the 1st Marine Brigade in Hawaii. I had a lot of responsibilities for all of the logistics for both the infantry brigade and the composite Marine aviation group.
One of my responsibilities was to meet every cargo plane that arrived to ensure that on the Marine side we met all of the requirements to load equipment aboard cargo aircraft and the cargo aircraft crew was responsible for ensuring that we met all of the requirements to load cargo aboard the aircraft.
The problem in those days was that the Marines didn't have all of the latest requirements needed to load special equipment aboard the C-5A which was the largest US aircraft cargo aircraft. So early on in my new assignment I was responsible for ensuring that we could load a CH-53 helicopter on to the C-5A. Unknown to me was that we were supposed to provide a special wooden extension to the C-5A cargo ramp to allow the helicopter to be loaded.
Well, that didn't happen and so the C-5 took off for another mission while we tried to figure out what wooden ramp supplement they wanted. Eventually we figured it out.
But it seems that the modifications that have been made to the C-5 no longer require the requesting organization to build wooden ramps to get helicopter and vehicles loaded.
Jus a glimpse into what it was like in the 1970's compared to today.
That's impressive. Those planes are so powerful
@@lauraoday1761 thanks for watching captain and shift commander LABonte air mobility command patriot wing commander. Ahh 34 combat war veteran
Brings back memories of working at Lockheed building the C5-B.
It's Mind Bodling How Something That Big Stays In The Air 😂
Good. Start showing our capabilities like everyone else is! Modern deterrent
Impressive and awesome proven USA military technology
420 tons. Nice
Excellent video.
It is a great wonder this could be built!
I see the C17's come in and out of Travis AFB all the time I'm just down the road, and occasionally a C5
I love this pretty bird. Every time I see its engines, something evokes me the Saturn 5. These engines are very "look like" with those on the rocket. I love this airplane among other situations, because it projects America's power, mightiness and beauty.
How long would the Berlin airlift have taken with the C-5?
Que fantásticas avantesmas!
Logistics are key to war-fighting. Planes like this play a big part to make it all possible.
me encanta esta maquina GENIAL
Very good indeed
C5 is a huge military aircraft, and I love how the nose of the plane goes up and down.
Bloody hell. How far have we come in the last 100 years?
Amazing super plane
The TF39s do sound amazing
Incredible that only 65 years separate the first flight of the C-5 and the Wright Brothers first flight at Kitty Hawk. I'm 67 years old, so I know exactly how long that is.
420 Ton., Wow...!!!!!
Tuyệt Vòi lắm Nghe
nice
They fly over my house almost everyday. The C-5 used to be really loud until they updated them. My house would shake and we couldn't hear anything until they flew by to land at Dover AFB.
youre so lucky, i dont get to see any fighter jets :(
Yeah they stir up flies here to ..we all could live like kings and queens for what our Gov wastes on jets & the stockmarket racketeering
Beautiful sound chopping at the night sky!
Please , it is a Lockheed C-5 built by Lockheed-Georgia, Martin-Marietta had nothing to do with it.
@@jbshaka653 And "Lockheed' was on the steering yoke as I recall.
Our USA the great must be always first
A nossa Embraer também está produzindo os nossos próprios cargueiros🇧🇷💪
An-124: Am I a joke to you?
Flutus,
Where do you source your footage?
Looks like a shark opening its mouth. Megalodon. Impressive bird.
This is where wars are won. Yet,these guys almost NO credit. Its always the guy kicking down a mud hut door. These are some of our best warriors....most of you dont know that!
very wow stuff. 😎 all you need now is 007... 🥰
Good
That is one humongous baby, powerful, too.
General Electric!
Lindo.
USA number one in the world
Think of it this way, it is like a medium sized ship that can fly! They are so behemoth and weigh such a collasol amount, that the pilots have to have maps of the base showing where they are allowed to even stop and park those behemoths. Rolling, they are fine, but once stopped after awhile all that weight well not in designated areas on the tarmac, the tires in time could punch right through the conrete on the tarmac. There are designated circled areas that they are allowed to come to a full stop, that are a lot thicker in concrete and use galvanized steel pipe (I cant divulge how thick the concrete or the pipe is) for rebar! Watching them take off fully loaded at the very end of the run way. They rev up the engines full bore and nothing moves it seems like for a few minutes, then it moves a few inches, then a foot, then more feet breaking inertia. Even pulling up, by its size it seems slow and you gasp, it the plane gong to clear the trees at the end of the run way. That is what it is like!
Big airlane ❤

What are those power carts doing at the end, connected by hoses to the hubs of the propellers? Keeping the engines warm?
I’ve worked on that Ms C17
Feri good friend
C5 appeared in the skies at Charleston AFB in the late 60’s
My kind of ride
February 26th 2023
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I took my first ride in a C-5 as a Civil Air Patrol cadet at the age of 15 in 1981. My last ride in one was in 2006, just before I retired from the Air Force after a 23-year career.
We used to throw nerf balls in the giant empty cargo bay out over the Pacific Ocean at 30,000 feet. The thing was a beast, but by the year 2K, they were showing their age. Aircrews and mechanics alike would sigh in relief if they could get their planes up in the air without something breaking. As massive as they were, they were also complicated and had become 'fussy.' Happy to see theyve seen some modernization and will continue to fly for a few more years though. 😀
Couldn't help but notice your name...are you Ghanaian
With enough thrust, anything can fly!!
I worked with these planes in the Air Force. Their engines are no different than other cargo planes.
I worked on pressure bulkhead at Lockheed in Palmdale CA sub assy
I'd like to have one for my John boat
YEA she is a big girl on the field but the C-17 (which i helped build by chasing parts for at McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, CA.). The C-17 doesn't need "special" runway like the C-5. it can land on a dirt runway. i was employed there for about 18 yrs ,the majority on the C-17.(i supported the center fuselage build area).
Is it true that the C_17 uses the DC 10 nose section with just a few more windows
Wow 2600 miles range....
J'adore cet avion. A chaque fois que je vois ses moteurs, . Ces moteurs sont très "ressemblants" d'une fusée. J'aime cet avion, car il projette la puissance et la beauté de l'Amérique.
Also, these US Air Force engines are Soooo powerful, they can even make a 420 tons aircraft TAKE OFF!!! duh.🤨
hey ,,, what does the C represents ( is it Cargo ) ??
Yes it stands for cargo
High bypass turbofan w/o afterburner unlike an F404-GE-400
1:15 Soviet Union hold my beer
👍
Sería bien que estos increhibles maquinas sean bien para transportar alimentos y donaciones y no para armas que destruyen
👏
Hello . Im fom Viet Nam .
Esse sim é um avião cargueiro militar em excelência o Globomaster C17 da Força aérea dos Estados Unidos. Parabéns. Mais poderoso em transportes de carga só o destruído na Ucrânia o Antonov 225.
Por favor, acrescente legenda em português. Obrigado
👍👍👍👌👌👌
"These US Air Force Engines are So Powerful They Can Stop a 420 TON Aircraft".
Well i drove to travis AFB making deliveries for about 15 years i was always amazed how bad they treated the drivers that came on the base not all but most i will just say i wish i had it on video for people to see😯 lol shocking!
Lockheed C5 galaxy 🇺🇸💪💪
