When I was stationed at El Toro MCAS I always enjoyed watching these beasts take off. It is so large you swear it can't move. Once it starts its take off, it looks like it is going so slow it will never be able to take off. Once it does take off it looks like it is going so slow it can't keep flying but is does
I was a crew chief on the C-5 at Kelly AFB, Tx. She is a thing of beauty and she has a distinct sound. She lumbers upwardly into the clouds, call her Big Bertha.
It’s really amazing how they were able to come up with create an engineer, the parts to build such a creation as this jet, watching them service the engines on this plane looking at all the wires the connections these things have to be thought about invented. It’s just an amazing process That they have come up with just to be able to fly even a much smaller plane. It’s truly amazing.
While in the US ARMY and stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY at 160th SOAR, I was sent to load planner certification each year. This included air, rail, ship and ground transport. You really can’t conceptualize the size until you see apaches and Blackhawks being loaded aboard. Awesome to fly in as well. Great aircraft, along with the C17. 🫡👍
When I was getting my private pilots license many moons ago, while I was doing my cross country flight (in a Cessna 152) going into Stewart AFB/International and the tower called while on final and said “152M please hurry up you have a heavy behind you.” I turned around and saw nothing but GREEN out my rear window! Clearly the tower either didn’t know or care a 152 is a pack of gum with wings and a rubber band. I touched down ASAP and took the first taxiway, and the C5 blew past me. It was exhilarating and terrifying all at the same time.
I rode a C5 into Iraq quite a few times and its a great ride! So, back in 2003 to 2006, i went to Iraq 3 times (not year deployments) and we would have a C5 to ourselves with our gear (Tier 2 Unit working for Tier 1) and fly into Biap. At the time, there was a rule that C5s could only come on at night. They are big and slow. They can be spotted from miles away, giving people time to set up RPGs or missiles of some sort, so only flying in at night. I always sat in the jump seat to watch and listen. Best seat in the house, to me at least. So, come into Iraq at like 40k feet, as we got close to the Landing Zone (LZ) we came down a little bit, maybe 8k feet or so. Once we got close enough, it was game on! They basically flew over the airport until they reached the center (idk, I'm not a pilot) and we would do a steep corkscrew down maneuver with a steep pull at the end for the landing. Maybe it doesn't sound like much, but when I'm looking down at the ground (you can see lights, ground itself Most of the time) from a c5 at dead of night, in almost a spin? It was fun and kind of nerve wracking at the same time. I hope a C5 pilot that flew into Iraq, early Iraq war, can tell us more about it here.
I'm glad you came home alive and hopefully uninjured. Sadly the each last U.S. soldier to leave Vietnam, Iraq & Afgahnistan backed up the ramp of a C5 with an assault rifle praying not to be the last American soldier to die there.
I also rode on one of these in Afghanistan, in 2008. I was on a Pentagon-sponsored trip to make voting for troops, especially those at a FOB, easier, within security constraints.
Just think when this plane is fully loaded between the weight of its cargo, and the weight of the plane itself the landing gear, I cannot even find the words to even describe the landing gear that has to be able to sustain such ana massive amount of weight I take my hat off to all the engineers that make this possible
There is no country in the world only USA 🇺🇸 who has this massive plane and technology which others try to steal the technology but they can’t. MAY GODBLESS USA 🇺🇸. AND HIS BLESSINGS ALWAYS POUR ON US.
I had one of those all to myself flying home from Iraq for R & R. In 2008. When I boarded it in Kuwait, there were two Air Force guys catching football in the cargo bay. They weren't screwing around either. They were running speed out & slant routes.
I’ve flown FCC on tail number 7030 and was DCC on 7032. I was an Engine Run Certifier on C-5s for several years in Germany. The larger commercial aircraft like the 747 and A-380 are modern wonders but seeing an M1A1, semi-truck, or rocket booster on a C5 is awe-inspiring. FRED is a challenge to maintain but it’s fun.

C-5s fly over my house all the time from Dover AFB. I'm glad they overhauled them with new engines that make them much quieter. In the 80s and 90s they used to scream when going over.
I remember going to the Greenham Common Airshow in the UK in 1979 and we had the opportunity of walking through this gigantic aircraft. We were awestruck by its sheer size and volume. incredible that its now been in service since 1970. (Mind you there are still 58 B-52's in service and the last one rolled off the production line over 60 years ago!)
Brazil? Why? I don’t understand the practice of outsourcing work to maintain/rebuild these engines to another country. I think we are now learning the consequences of outsourcing work for cheaper labor in a big way (i.e. China), and this is another example that seems ridiculous. Especially with the military.
GE was a champion of outsourcing manufacturing. Remember Jeff Immelt? He was the self-proclaimed king of outsourcing to China. And then because O'Bummer wanted to help destroy our economy so he could "fundamentally change this country" into a Communist shit hole, he made Immelt his Jobs Czar. So the President of the United States, who ran on keeping manufacturing jobs in the U.S., made as his Jobs Czar the queen of shipping jobs abroad. Bloody bastards.
My Dad used to take me to the Air Show at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Ohio. I remember seeing this plane in person. Such a massive piece of machinery. They had it open from both ends so you could walk through it. They had the cockpit open as well. I remember one year they had an airliner at the Air Show. I went inside and sat down. I thought to myself, "I guess I'll never get to experience flying in an airplane". And then in 1996 and 1999 I went to California to visit my brother who was in the USAF stationed at Edwards A F.B. We went for Christmas (1996) and then I went alone for my birthday (1999). The plane that I rode on both times was the Boeing 747. I wish I could do it all over again. What memories!!! Loved the video. Thanks!! ✈️💙✈️💙✈️💙✈️💙✈️
The refueling part brought me back memories of my brother who used to fly the C-5. I have some fotos of him at this. The landing gear part reminded me of when approaching Ramstein AFB, Germany, the front wheels failed to open! Talk about a harrowing skid landing⚠️
All of us still waiting to see a shot of the C-5 wheels actually touching down and kicking up some cool rubber smoke. I'm starting to think it's not going to happen.
The video shows a mix of the original General Electric TF39 engine and also the latter General Electric F103 engines that were put on the M model. The smaller booster fan in front was was unique to the original TF39. I once was talking to a C5 pilot, and he loved flying the models with the upgraded engines. The way he described it was that it felt like the plane had a fifth engine!
*_Former Boeing Everett.... home of 747, 757, 767, 777, 787, and soon 797..._* Wonder what the C-5 Galaxy would be like if they traded those tiny GE engines for the same we use on Triple Seven? The C-5M Super Galaxy transport aircraft is powered by four GE CF6-80C2 turbofan engines each developing a thrust of 50,580lb. The length and diameter of the engine are 4.26m and 2.69m respectively. The dry weight of the engine is 9,860lb. 777 uses 2 GE90-115B engines, which reigns as the world's most powerful jet engine. Each engine puts out as much thrust as 2 of the smaller engines used on C-5 combined. The 777 engine is larger in diameter than the entire fuselage of our 737. Main fan is nearly 11 feet in diameter itself. Add containment and cowling the engine is huge. *_Maybe Lockheed doesn't want to take military advice from Boeing..._*
Yeah, the RR Trent 1000 engines or even the older Trent 900 engines found on the A380 are also way more powerful and are so much more efficient. But they were after all developed for different planes. And given that LM only upgraded very few parts of the plane when upgrading to the C5M, only similar engined could be used, so they used outdated engines again...
Flew on one in Afghanistan in 2008. It was an experience I'll never forget. The next leg of that trip was on a Blackhawk helicopter, landing at Bagram. It was a Pentagon-sponsored trip to improve voting for troops. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
A lot of focus is placed on the power of the engines -- and rightfully so. Not discussed is the incredible strength of the mounting gear that prevents those insanely powerful engines from breaking loose, or shifting in any way. Also not discussed is the incredible strength of the wings, to hold 840,000 pounds off the ground, without snapping off or cracking. And when the plane encounters turbulence, or makes turns, perhaps more than a "G" of force on a turn, that doubles the weight that the wings are carrying. And it is not just the vertical weight... those wings are what pull the main section of the plane forward. The engines pull on the wings, and the wings pull on the rest of the plane. I am curious how many engines would need to fail, before the plane would not be able to maintain altitude. I am also curious about how many engines are needed to lift-off, given a long enough runway.
I used to see and hear a wing of these near Martinsburg, WV when they would fly over my house in VA. The engines of the C-5 make a unique sound that I could always identify immediately.
Worked the B and M models. They're impressive but the engines on these aren't particularly powerful and are de-tuned as well. Also any video clips on this with the engines with the sucker doors making a lot of noise is the old TF39 which was even less power. But the C-5A/B was by far the best sounding airliner/cargo style plane ever made.
I hear the new RR engines are much better and have a great deal more power. I hated flying on these birds. They were cold and the seats sucked. However, after a NATO exercise we flew the length of Norway on a Coast Guard C 130 with no heat!
Living near Wichita I have had the opportunity to watch it loitering around a bit and take off. BUT, if you do not know this story... I'll just leave a couple links, to much to type, but an AWESOME aviation story! In short: Giant plane lands at wrong airfield, way too small, tug sent breaks down, calculations made for fuel weight do to severely limited runway length. And a link to the short takeoff. Hope you like it! Edit: OMG there are so many stories, I can't find one that has all the info. Just search Dreamlifter wrong airport. Fun story for aviation geeks like us!
Angenommen es wäre aus dünnem Styropor und hätte nur eine Fiberglasverstärkte Stahlfedermatte in der Laderaumrampe , dann könnte es schon weit fliegen, sogar als Segelflieger.
Instead of the screechy music, why didn't you just use the sounds of the C-5's original engines? They provided shrieking, screaming, and screeching aplenty! I know. I worked in a building next to the C-5 parking spots for 23 years. 😂 Now, I miss their horrendous noise. ❤
The entire first flight of the Wright brothers could take place inside this aircraft! It will load 18 Grayhound scenic cruisers shut the doors and take off! Fat Albert is some air plane!
My my that's a sick looking airplane ✈️ there are thousands upon thousands of parts and thousands of hours to to put that thing together and make it fly 🕊️
I've always been amazed by the fact that those engines can move that beast fast enough for it to take off and fly.
I'm stunned by the metallurgy that has made those incredibly long turbine blades routine. Amazing!

It's incredible that so much weight can be flying 1000s of feet in the air, but we still haven't accomplished solving the small problems society has
Easier to form consensus on science than society.
Guess you have a point.

A lot of focus is placed on the power of the engines -- and rightfully so.
Not discussed is the incredible strength of the mounting gear that prevents those insanely powerful engines from breaking loose, or shifting in any way.
Also not discussed is the incredible strength of the wings, to hold 840,000 pounds off the ground, without snapping off or cracking.

I am curious how many engines would need to fail, before the plane would not be able to maintain altitude.
I am also curious about how many engines are needed to lift-off, given a long enough runway.
Do you think it will get off the ground when our present government says it needs to run on batteries? 🤔
