  • The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft originally designed and built by Lockheed, and now maintained and upgraded by its successor, Lockheed Martin. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsized and oversized loads, including all air-certifiable cargo.

    I was a C-5B Crew Chief stationed at Dover AFB DE from 1991-1995. I was assigned to aircraft tail number 86013. Great experience! This plane is very reliable and has a safe track record. It only breaks when it sits on the flight line. It hardly breaks when it is being flown which is a good thing. I enjoyed traveling all over the world being a flying crew chief and I was only 18-21 years old. Good times.

      Whenever the Air Force is practicing touch and goes at Dover Air Force base they’ll go right over my house. Just yesterday I walked out of the front door to see a C-17 flying over, tilted 30-45 degrees at 500 feet of altitude (asked my ATC friend). These planes are awesome, and I love seeing them from time to time

I don't know how many time I had to upload and download the same C5 because it would break. So many wasted manhours bothering with that plane. C-17 much more reliable which is why you'll see the mostly at AMC terminals over a C5

    • @thunderbird1921
      @thunderbird1921 4 роки тому +2

      What's really interesting is how the Air Force transports military satellites to either Vandenberg or Cape Canaveral. They're carried in an environment-controlled shipping container rather than just being wrapped like other cargo. It does make sense though because of how fragile or sensitive their components are. There's a video on UA-cam of a C-5 moving one in the last year.
