      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!!

    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.

    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.

      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!

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.
