I saw a malayalam movie called Jack & Daniel, where thIs scene was used in the starting. At the first scene, hero would land in Kerala. To show the landing, this C5 galaxy video was used
Loved watching C-5s come and go from Hunter AAF in Savannah back during the Cold War. Magnificent ships of the sky... but, once Congress defunds their production in 2016, they will slowly disappear... like the F-14 US navy fighters and so many others.
Totally cool to see the gear deploy, and then swivel into position for landing. It must have been a challenge to secure the camera to the aircraft. It did it's job and gave us a great view.
Hey Steven, that's an awesome perspective! May I use a part of this video in one of my next uploads? Of course with giving credit to you in the video and in the description. Keep it up, cheers!
That was really funny. At first I thought: Where is he going? The runway is to the left. Is he going to make a REALLY tight turn to final? Then it was: Oh wait, he can just land on the runway in front of him.
Amazing view! Worked C-5's at Travis for ten years, went overseas, and then back to Travis and this time worked on C-141's till they went away. Lived on base and it's amazing what you learn to tune out (planes taking off and landing, engine runs for maintenance, etc,,,) my folks came down to visit and asked how we could sleep with all that noise, I asked back "what noise"?
@@747heavyboeing3 Sorry missed your reply. I would think it had a better MC rate than the C-5A & B's but not positive. After working on the C-5, it was just easier to work on in my opinion.
Nice video of a great plane... But I found it disturbing that after the landing gears went down the forward set of doors apparently weren't locked properly after closing and continued to vibrate not being sealed properly tight to the belly surface... I would suggest to inspect this aircraft and the mechanics of the landing gear bays, just to avoid an accident some day.
They could have made the C5's landing gear both stronger and lighter, with the same number of wheels. Double up the 777's rear struts (4x6), and two front struts. (The front double steering struts would need a linkage, possible hydraulic with electronic controls.)
You don't realize how fast that sucker is moving until you see the ground coming up! That has got to be one of the most impressive sights I've seen! And nothing beats the sound of the C-5's engines! Boy do I love that sound!
schrap72 I agree it is truly impressive and I remember them floating into the air out of Kadena, but nothing compared to the SR-71 Habu taking off in full afterburner.
That looks like Travis Air Force Base im about 8 minutes from there. Hear them all the time they also have the KC 135 refueler and the C17s. I remember the days of the C5 Galaxy it was deafening to hear and a huge aircraft.
Not sure why the landing gear was deployed so early, then again it's Air Force and they dont give a hoot about saving fuel because we're paying for it.
landing was 10/10. i thought he was gonna come up landing past the piano keys and hard touch down but the flare at the end was perfect. probably couldnt even feel it from inside the cockpit!
Back in about 1975-6, one of the C-5A's from Travis was at Altus doing touch and goes, on the closed side of the base. The gear came down, didn't turn forward, gave the green lights or the crew didn't notice, and made the world's shortest landing, smoked all the tires, caught fire and burned to the ground before the fire crews arrived. Everyone got off, but a total write off of the aircraft.
One of the more impressive videos I've seen. Really get a sense of the speed when you see the airflow buffeting the landing gear bay doors. Felt like I was riding under the plane. Love those engine sounds.
NOTE: I'm not a pilot of any kind, but this could be used as a training video for landing purposes - excellent, she fly's beautifully!!was the camera installed by an AF personnel?.beautiful video - if you've got any spare send one to NZ.I also thought sh%t the runway's to the left and was horrified!
Amazing how much smoke comes off the tires when they touch down. I wonder how many landings the tires on a C-5 can endure before they have to be changed?
Haha I doubt it. I think Gopro suction mounts are rated at 150mph-ish where as a C-5 must cruse at least 500mph. would be an awesome gopro add if they did though :P
I'm actually shocked they could get a FRED airborne to film this! I'm even more surprised that they were able to find a spot on the belly clean enough to stick a go-pro on a FRED... And not to nitpick, but that landing was a bit long boys! -(IYA{C-130}YAS) love ya guys! (Disclaimer to those who are not in the know; USAF aircrews often talk trash, especially between airframes. Me being a C-130 gal; I know I am superior to any FRED crew as getting a C-130 airborne is pretty common :) this is all from a place of love! One team one fight! Fly AF!)
When I was serving in Army aviation during the Vietnam War, I did a "tour" in Pleiku & Nha Trang from Aug68 to Aug69, then I finished my enlistment at the Crissy Army Airfield at the Presidio of San Francisco (near the Golden Gate Bridge). We had many flight assignments, but the worst was to haul injured soldiers coming home for the war, in various aircraft, but mostly the C-141s and later in C-5s. We'd fly our helicopters to Travis Airbase, the injured would be transferred to our aircraft and we'd fly them to Letterman Army Hospital, a topnotch hospital at the Presidio (Spanish word for "fort"). I was at the Presidio from Sep69 to Jan71. Those were difficult days, but somehow we survived and now we continue to move on.
And every time I see this, I always wonder why the wheels are not spinning before landing. Just some scoops somewhere in the wheels (like the cups in an anemometer), et voilá. Why? Why?
We don't have enough seats for everyone, so... you, private, we have a special place for you. You're the cameraman for a special video.
Imagine not having enough seats in a C-5
Lmao🤣🤣
Nonsense
“5 by 5, I’m on the pylon!”
Is it still keelhauling if it's in an airplane? :P
The C-5 has the best landing gear extension/retraction, and also the best engine roar
Great video I love the view of the landing and the good camera quality

It is better than my infinite flight landings somehow with the 747
What beauty

This is mirya right?
Where is this? Wow

The doors buffer.
Butter 9/10 cause its not on landing zone XD
Shoulsn't that runway be 'de-rubbered' sonn?

That was a nice butter landing
What is a 'butter' landing?
@@ayyarmia9186 a low vertical speed makes a smooth landing
Gwo Gaming RIGHT
Z Lachance smooth
Billy Judd it’s a landing that’s very smooth
Now if they could bluetooth the underside video to the pilots they could see if those wheels actually turn forward.

141s were great looking birds as well. I only saw a few fly in person. Did they require more maintenance per hour compared to C5s?

The scream of those engines is a sound you don’t easily forget once you hear it for the first time.

Sad
schrap72 I agree it is truly impressive and I remember them floating into the air out of Kadena, but nothing compared to the SR-71 Habu taking off in full afterburner.
All the C5s are officially C5Ms now and have all been re-engined. :-(

I spend more time looking at USAF airplanes flying around when I go to Fairfield Pick-N-Pull auto junk yard than I do pulling my parts.
Correct, that is Travis with the two offset parallel runways,
yep def Travis AFB upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Travis_AFB_CA_-_12_June_1993.jpg

Without the landing gear deployed it reminds me a lot of the Independence Day ship that set New York on fire.

Not really.

TF39 engines.

the butter I always wanted
Now I understand why the speed limit is so low to deploy the landing gear. These doors were just about to rip right off!
This C-5 has a wierd landing configuration
Like if u agree
Nice video

Pretty cool bird! I had the pleasure ,or should I say displeasure, of flying in one of these from Okinawa to Iraq. Longest week of my life!!!!
Fantastic view of a landing.
3.15 to 3.50
What a perfect alignment to the RWY.
The pilots be appreciated.
Does anyone know if the C5s ever have issues with landing gear that fail to pivot? And are there other planes with that kind of landing gear?
Had Mahler 5th Symphony on in background, worked well by accident.
Stunning views, amazing!
Perfect camera position..the view of the landing was spectacular...SURREAL!!!!😉..GREAT VIDEO!!!CONGRATULATIONS!!👏🏼👏🏼

Does anyone realized that Lockheed C-5 galaxy was landing at Travis AFB in Northern California just right next to Sacramento
It’s an hour from Sacramento to Travis.
Man...that is just so freaking cool!!!!!!!!!! The view..the sound of those engines...everything about this clip is awesome!!!!
Incredible. Landing was one of smoothest I've seen!
I agree- this was a truly amazing video. Captured the essence of a marvelous final approach from such a unique camera angle!
Just like butter.
It's clearly not a butter, but smooth tho
Good video good aircraft good flight deck....and all crew
Awesome landing! Smooth and on the centerline!
i call it a butter landing
All planes without crosswind goes aligned with the centerline so you never need t9 add “on the centerline”
The dislikes DEFINITELY KIDS THOUGHT THERE WAS NO LANDING SCENE
Now that was one smooth as silk landing! Great job.
Daamn; that whistle sounds loud even from under the plane. I can't imagine how it is right next to it
Haha I doubt it. I think Gopro suction mounts are rated at 150mph-ish where as a C-5 must cruse at least 500mph. would be an awesome gopro add if they did though :P
Perfect Butter touchdown!! Really good Pilot at work!!
I want to be a pilot wen I grow up
The pilot absolutely buttered that landing! Smooth as a freshly waxed puanani!
U idiot lol
the second craziest landing gear of all aircrafts...the craziest? look at the retraction of b-52`s landing gear and you will agree with me

I thought this was a RC toy but then I realized its as big and wide as the runway so then I said to myself, "It's not what I thought it would be."
