- C-5M Super Galaxy military aircraft in action, the largest aircraft in the US Air Force. The Lockheed C-5 Super Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft 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. The C-5 Super Galaxy has many similarities to the smaller Lockheed C-141 Starlifter and the later Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. The C-5 Super Galaxy is among the largest military aircraft in the world.

Started out what ended up being a 36 year career working on the C-5. 8 years active duty and another 28 years working civil service as a civilian employee of DOD. Worked as a pneudraulic tech my entire career. Had opportunities to move into other things along the way. But between the enjoyment of troubleshooting problems and the constant travel opportunities I chose to stay in the field. I moved up, but not out of the field. The C-5 is an amazing aircraft. No matter how many times I flew on it or just watched it lift slowly into the air. It never cease to amaze me that something that BIG could even fly!
Altus AFB?
I’m just at awe every time I see a video of these giants. It’s just freaking amazing seeing such large airplanes gracefully taking off and landing.
Two tours as an Air Force pilot flying FRED. Total of 2500 hours flying that aluminum cloud. 91-94 and 97-00. I miss the camaraderie and professionalism more than anything. Go AF!
Check out the bump by the tail. That's actually a movie theater! They have a kitchen and everything on the 2nd floor. HUGE aircraft!
@@willbracken2367 Seriously? Freaking wow! 😂
Yes, indeed!
They’re like flying office buildings!
During an exercise in '76 I was part of a team that loaded our Bn equipment for movement to SC we worked around the clock in two shifts. The biggest thrill was loading 6 OTC semi trailers into one of the C-5's. the trailer tops were about 6 inches from the fuselage and about the same between. Overall we did 6 C-5, about 27 C-141 and around 120 C-130's during the 72 hour period out of DMAFB.
How many pederasts, lesby, transgenders were in plane crew?
Flew on these big birds several times during my career and they also got me there and back home safe. The loadmaster’s job is both challenging and rewarding. GO AIR FORCE!!!!
These aircraft are awesome!! First time of seeing the inside of one I was flabbergasted at the size!! The largest aircraft I had ever been inside was the 141 Starlifter and I thought that was huge!! Love these planes!!! We were an AF family as well!!
i was amazed
My father was the flight engineer for the C-5A back in the 70’s. I can remember climbing around in the C5 while he did maintenance on the plane. When you go out on the wing you know how big it is.

The USA has the some of the biggest, bravest, and toughest. Whether it be aircraft, land vehicles, optical, underwater, and in the sky. God Bless these MEN and WOMEN protecting our Country, and providing for others! No other place then to be here in the USA!!!! WE ARE SO BLESSED!!!!!
True but the evil Democrats are in charge of these patriots and that is a very big problem, they commit them to wars and danger that we have no business being involved in.
Brih
Keep on dreaming. Your patriotism blinds you.
What do you want with your park flyer. The Russians are always superior to you. Not only do they have the biggest transport plane, they also have the biggest helicopter. Unlike you Americans,
the Russians don't brag but keep a low profile.
Anyone who brags needs it.
They are so brave that they earned the 'hit n' run' attribute for life.
I got a tour of one when I was first assigned to work on these (communication/navigation technician) & it blew my mind how big these are. That was 1996 & it still blows my mind. They look slow flying because they so big. Looks like they're going 30 mph but more like 300. I stood up in the engine & had to reach up to touch the top of it. Rear tail is 65 feet up. You climb a ladder inside & open the hatch. Strap onto the ring or you may step on hydraulic fluid & slide off the wing.
I'm a Air Force veteran. I was stationed at Clark AB Philippines
1986- 1989 .My squadron was 374 FMS . I worked in A.G.E.
this video brings back memories. The C-5 is my favorite cargo plane. I find it amazing when it takes off and lands. And the engines sound great
Thank you so much for your service. I dreamt about flying these planes. I'm so glad modern technology is here to allow us a small window into this experience.
@Jesus is coming. Read the Gospel. Go buck Jesus on his cross, he's waiting for you.
As much as we would make fun of age, as a crew chief you were essential to us , thank you for your hard hours served civilians don’t know how much maintainers in the military do to keep planes in the air
I like planes and this is one of the most beautiful things I have seen. Perfect take off and landing
I work at an airport, many years ago had one of these, not sure which variant, come in. Got to watch them load the cargo, and the crew gave me & some of my co-workers a tour of the cockpit area. It was quite an experience and an honor to do so. Mind you this was pre 9/11, they may not be as willing to do that now, but back then they didn't mind because they had pride in their aircraft, and wanted to show her off. 😁 I have also seen the Antonov An-124, and the An-225 before it was destroyed.

@@user-xj4xb5hd8k No offense to you, I do not understand Japanese, I assume. I tried to pull up a Japanese keyboard in an effort to try and translate, but was un successful. So if you can understand me, I'd really like to know what you wanted to say. 😁
@@ZippyThePinhead the person wrote 3 crown emojis (I clicked the UA-cam translate button, I’m not Chinese)(I’m assuming it’s Chinese sorry)
@@alexfinns6162 Could be, I personally don't know either, just made the assumption based on seeing other Japanese writing in the past. Thanks for trying though. 👍
I liked seeing the C5 taxi past a C130. The size difference between the two planes. Wow!
I used to weld the TF-39 engine blades hard facing at chromalloy, huge blades! The sound of those engines are a trip. The engineering involved of the construction of it to carry all that weight is incredible.
Dang duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude that's a big ol plane 😳
@@azuredawn2446 🤦♂️
это.супер.но.расию.нё.догнать
We had these fly into Los Alamitos Air Reserve Base in So Cal all of the time. Finally made enough connections to actually go inside one after it was empty. That is one big SOB.

Incredible...like flying a whole building.
Russian AN 124: Hold my beer son.
An 225: children! Don't be naughty!
So huge. Beautiful!
crazy how such a huge airplane can become airborne
If tats the case how did An-225 took off from ground with 6 jet engines of Russia
Koja grdosija!!!🤩🤩😍
Now that's Frickin Awesome!!
Tuyệt lắm bạn ạ những chuyện bay rất hiện đại và tuyệt vời
I'll never forget my shock as a Flight Nurse (1970-71) in C141 after landing at Dover AFB exiting, walking around nose & parked next to the new C5 with it's nose open. Wow, humongous plane right in front of me !! "What is that"? I stood stunned for about a minute.
Same here. Gulf War 1990/91. Walked down the back ramp of a Hercules C130 to discover we were next to (Or felt more like 'parked under' a C5 Galaxy . Gobsmacked !!
Simplemente espectacular!!!
SUCH A GORGEOUS AIRPLANE
I only served six years in the Marine Corps. God, those Air Men, Marines or Army handling behind the scenes that I dealt with....RESPECT!
Thank you!!!
Semper Fi!!!
СУПЕР!!!
I was walking in Brewer along the river one afternoon waiting for a concert to start at the Maine Savings Theater later that evening when one of these beasts did a low pass to land at the US Air Force Base in Bangor (totally unaware there was a base nearby). Needless to say a drive to the base was in order after the show before heading back North. Its an apartment with wings!
Worked on the C5 Galaxy for 7 years loved every day I was there. Flew all over the world in them, rides just like a Cadillac in the sky, best money US government spent on an aircraft 😃😃😃🤩🤩👍👍

You said it brother flew in the back of one of these from Germany to Iraq in OiF1🇺🇸 and when it landed I didn’t even know we were on the ground
One of my top 5 favorite aircrafts! Looks completely incapable to even fly but does. Amazing!
A thing of beauty 😎
Is a joy forever .
Never flew in one however had several great tours. Amazing how big the cargo bay is and no problem setting up a NBA full court inside the massive bay.
I live near DMAFB Tucson and see the retired C 5A in the bone yard when I go by.
Que grande.!!!!
Asombroso, cuánta tecnología...y parece común para los operarios ..👍👍👌👌👏👏
Love watching these beauties come in at JBER!!! such a huge plane. sometimes makes me wonder how they fly at all.....
Fans AMERICA from indonesia

Seeing the massive firefighter truck reversing I remember an incident happened while I was working in the Middle East on a oil rig.
An American was reversing a big truck and he asked his helper who was an Afgan to give signal.
The truck was reversing and the Afgan kept saying Khamba Khamba...
The driver internalised it as Come back, Come back and kept reversing. Suddenly there was a banging sound and the truck could not move. Stopping the truck the driver came behind and saw that the truck had hit a pole and had stopped. He shouted at the helper as to why he kept saying Come back when there was this big pole, the Afgan was blinking. Luckily an Indian arriving at scene made it clear to the driver that as per the Afgan he said Khamba, meaning a Pole and not what the American understood as Come back.
Can I get a few laughs??? ; -)....
Hahaha 😂😂
THIS THING MOVES LIKE IT HAS NO WEIGHT
Amazing
Beautiful
Cet avion gigantesque est impressionnant et sa capacité à engloutir toutes les réservés et matériaux inimaginables est précieux surtout en cas d événements graves, secours etc
Il est démesuré mais son action bienveillante et utilitaire doit être dans limite!..
Bravo à Monsieur l Aviateur qui arrive à soulever ce poids plume!!!...
RESPECTUEUSEMENT.
បក្សាស្លាបដែកដ៍មហាសែនធ្ងន់ ហោះឡើងចុះស្រាលដូចក្រដាសមូលបារី និងល្បឿនលឿនលើសចិត្ត ! គ្មានប្រៀប ទោះ១សតវត្សរ៍ទៅ
មុខទៀត ក៍ដោយ ! កុំយល់សូង
I used to see these flying in MA. At any distance, They. Are. Huge.
I thought the Air Force retired the C-5. Sure is good to see this plane is still around, doing what it does best.
the c4 is a great plan and very comfortable to ride in
My family & I took the earlier model on military hops. It was great once you got airborne. You sit at the top, with the seats facing backwards for
safety purposes. The problem with the older C-5 was its uptime rate was @ 60%. We got stuck a couple of times because of needed repairs. Nice to see the C-5M now.
*Simply majestic*
That thing is a BEAST!
🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
I flew inside one 1x. I couldn't believe it got off the ground. It's BIG.
I was a crew chief on C-141 assigned temporarily to another bas where i got work and fly on this, amazing that thing flies considering its size and when i flew home we had helicopters, tanks and other vehicles in the cargo area. I was tue spotter during a full speed engine run (stood in front with headphones on to watch that nothing hot sucked into engines when brought to full speed…what an experience we could only do one at a time and when that was humming ground was shaking like an earthquake! Truly an amazing aircraft
I have had the pleasure of riding on one of these big boys. Totally awesome ❤️❤️❤️💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Back in 73, as a Sgt. In the USAF, flew home on.leave f on Elmendorf AB, Alaska, to Dover AB. Incredible aircraft.
LOVE IT
@03:00 gives you the perspective of how huge the C 5 actually is
Seeing this land into Kodiak was quite impressive!
Que maquina maravilhosa.
That’s a monster
I am in awe.
I live in a small town where these giants once flew. They are crazy huge!! Crazy loud! They would cast HUGE shadows over my car while i was driving. They were moved to a different AFB and replaced with C-17s that are amazing but not the same. I miss seeing the C-5s
They were stationed in Dover Delaware !
Yeah, these planes are absolute beasts. 😳
I was driving my straight box truck in south Jersey, I don't remember if I was approaching a commercial airport or a military airbase, but I spot a C5 in my mirror on final. I don't know how far back it was, but I couldn't miss it! It didn't take long to pass over me, and I still couldn't believe how big the shadow was! It flew diagonally from right to left at a shallow angle, so I was able to watch a lot of the approach. What a massive plane, with huge loud engines!
Lo mejor de lo mejor el más grande y moderno
I am an air force brat and I have traveled on this cargo plane a couple of times from Alaska to Dover Air Force base. We San on the upper section of the plane and was served TV dinner meals. The only warmth on the flight was the itchy wool blankets that they passed out. What a trip! I was kind of frightened as I was a kid. Very slow to climb at take off.
77 years served in the Army been in lots of these guys used to fly them
This video:
Informative. Brilliant. Very entertaining. A masterpiece!
Es un giganteeeeeee . Que emoción
I've flown across both oceans in a C-5. They're no speed demon, but the ride is nice.
Way mama! Esto we esta poniendo bueno! Huge!
Insane level of engineering. I love seeing these fly, they only come in after the sun sets where I’m at in Norfolk Virginia
It's just amazing work
amazing!

Brutal.
excellent job! i love the AF!

I saw this landing today at la, its huuuge
Played football in the cargo bay AF v Army from Torrejon AB Spain to Saudi Arabia with an Abrams Tank as the 50 yard line. Great flight and good times during Desert. Shield.
It's incredible
viva C 5 viva US Air force
So comfortable to fly in. We landed at Travis AFB once and I never felt it land.

Nothing. Nothing can stop the USAF.
Except the XSAF
@@aliaims760 I agree! XSAF has clearly shown multiple times it is way bigger and stronger than the USAF. I am not even supposed to talk about this without company disclose but it's just this great, and i'm just this proud! Proud XSA patriot and member.
then why you did not fully conquer Afghanistan? 😂😂
Chevere
svaka cast 👍
BIG!
Great video. ☺️ It's basically just an Antonov AN-124 but still a nice aircraft.
As most kids call it, the American antonov
Love usa Love Americ Love evrop Love albanije
After about 4 years of working on them I can say they are amazing machines, they have flaws just like the rest, and have lunch on top of the T-tail watching a Californian sunset was great
😂😂being the highest and advanced technologies why did usa defeated in middle East, vietnam and Afghanistan.?
