I flew as a military passenger in a C5 Galaxy from Rhein Main Air Base, Frankfurt, Germany to Dover AFB, Delaware in 1979. Passengers sit on top , seats facing backwards with only an occasional porthole to look outside. Best long distance flight I ever took, lots of leg room between seats for 76 passengers, and flight only cost me about $10 for the in flight box meal. 🐶🤡 Great camera work !
If anyone is interested, the USAF Designation for the C-5M's engines is: F138 GE-100. This engine is better known as the CF6-80C2B-1, and is part of the same family of engines that power the E-4B Nightwatch NAOC, the KC-10A Extender, the VC-25A/Air Force One, and the new KC-46A Pegasus Tanker.
Thank you for a gorgeous video! I was born and raised where these, the C-130 and C-141 were manufactured. As a child seeing these planes being tested was an everyday occurrence. While I like the scream of the TF-39s on the C-5A, they are still distinctive planes and it is still good to see these birds flying. They're like an aluminum overcast as they go overhead, massively impressive.
This is the new, more powerful "M" model. I spent the last 14 years of my childhood getting to be an amateur planespotter. My father was in the U.S. Air Force. I have always loved watching C-5's and C-130's as they were always around and still are well over 50 plus years later. We were stationed at Ramstein AB West Germany during my senior year of high school and we had frequent C-5's coming and going. The high school at Ramstein is only a few hundred meters off the center line of the bases only runway. It was a particularly blustery, rainy day in early November. We were outside doing our JROTC Color Guard practice for an upcoming event when all 5 of us heard the tell tale "banshee" howling of a C-5 taking off and thought nothing more of it as we huddled in our winter jackets and kept marching around the football field. Fast forward about 120 seconds and we were still hearing those screaming engines and we, almost as one, all stopped to look over our shoulders and that C-5 literally looked as if it were being held motionless by some impossible force, yet it was still pointed skyward. We all just stood there, praying under our breath and willing that beast upwards and onwards. Finally, after what felt like 15 minutes (was probably 2 to 3 minutes) she was clearing the tree lined horizon and we all just stopped for a second to make sure all of us had just witnessed what felt like a miracle against the laws of physics... Beautiful aircraft with a sound completely its own...
What a beautiful Plane...So huge., so loud, so intimidating, but so safe! It looks to be halfway down the runway on take off and it lifts it's nose and gains airspeed!
I'm a Air Force veteran. When I was station at Clark AB Philippines, I would watch the C-5 (FRED) land and take off all the time. This is my favorite cargo plane
Mike Connor I caught a ride from Yakota back to Korea in a C-5 back in about 83. Perhaps it was you piloting. Anyway those were indeed fond memories. I salute you, Sir.
Old but still good. I was the guy marshalling the C-5. This is when former president trump came to zurich. On departure, we were completely empty except for a tow bar. It was good to be able to show a video to my co-workers of one of my favorite stops in my career.
Such a behemoth. I have been give a chance to see and touch first hand this awesome aircraft.... I'm in awe... Also how short of a take off required to get it off the ground is breath taking....
I've literally driven a 5-Ton military truck from one end to the other through the cargo bay of the C-5 during my USAF career. Also did several Pacific transports as a passenger. The passenger deck is the hump in front of the tail. These guys are enormous and fly incredibly smooth.
Thank you for taking this video and sharing. I must say, this model sounds nothing like the "A's" do. The C5-A and B52s would make the shingles on your roof do quite a dance when one of them would be taking off. And so were the Good Ole Days.
I was in Wildwood New Jersey, very young and I watched this. The fly over along the coast, south to north, on its first the demonstration flight. It was just stood there and then it was out of sight. Decades later, It's still awesome. Got to fly in two. Other countries may now have bigger, None have better! Plus, we've got C17'S and some much more!
Holy crap, what an awesome catch! Sounds like somebody's scanner was dying ;) Shame that the touchdown was blocked, but you more than made up for it with that amazing departure shot! Loved it!
Still, to this day I am amazed by this aircraft. I was on the team that developed and built a new brake bleeding system for the Galaxy while I was at Kelly AFB in San Antonio during the mid 70's. I still stand in wonder when these birds float over my mom's house in SA making their approach toward Kelly/Lackland AFB.
I've been very lucky to have been able to work on the flight-deck of the USS America during the '6 Day War', at 17 years old! And then to have lived on to see how far we've come......................................
I did my airborne training in the c-141....I miss it too....especially the last jump when I was the last one in the stick.....almost hit the trees.....
Took a lot of SPACE-A flights on C-5's out of Rhein-Main AB (when it was open adjacent to FRA) and Ramstein AB back in the 90s and early 2000s. Thanks US Air Force!
First time I saw one. In basic training at Lackland. We had been there a few weeks so our TI knew us by then and would be human sometimes. We were in formation and he faced us. "See that? That's a C-5. And that is why you do all this shit. If you can't do this you can't do that." TSgt Marcum early 80s. I watched a C-5 land nose gear up at Clark. The jet survived with relatively minor sheet metal and gear repairs. Lots of sparks and concrete dust though.
I am retired US Air Force and can remember when the C-5 entered service in the early 1970's. I thought it was an amazing aircraft then and nothing has happened to change my mind. I had a chance to fly on one space-A coming back from Asia in the 1980's. Have to hand it to the hard working maintainers that keep these planes flying ... this one has been in service for more than 35 years! I'll bet the crew is younger than the aircraft.
They look near stationary in flight as well. You can't help but look for the wires holding it up. I used to live near Travis AFB in Calif and they were an awesome sight. One did a fly by at a Muni Airport air show and freaked out so many people they waved off the return pass entirely. 911 was overwhelmed.
@@bobbysolo5411 - They fly. alright. I've seen them at JFB Andrews (takeoffs AND landings). When the nose lifts up, and you get to climb inside the cargo bay, you truly appreciate how monstrous the Super-G is.
I missed my Port of Call, 747 commercial flight out of San Francisco Airport, and had to take a hop on the old C-5 Galaxy, all the way to Kadena Air Base in Japan, from Travis AFB, Ca. Man, was that a Looong flight, especially without any windows to look out... Almost 12 hours.
Great video! Being that you mentioned this is a C-5M, you might want to update the engines on your info sheet. They are no longer TF-39s (miss that familiar whine!). They are now GE CF6-80C2. Thanks!
Thank you very much for watching. Ohh, didn't know that, I got the info from a spotter website, it's sometimes not that easy to get the info about military aircraft. Regarding the G650: I only mention an aircraft if it is the object that I intend to film, in this particular case it was the Galaxy. If i had to mention all aircraft in the frame the titles would become too much at some point, so I reduce it to an absolute minimum.
I used to live off of the arrival end of Bergstrom, and with the grinding whine of those old engines, plus the fact that the airplane looks like it's moving so slowly because of its size, I was convinced that every one of them was on short final to an imminent crash! Hah, quite a plane.
I love to watch any military plane land and take off, but the large ones are something to watch taking off (it seems like they just start their roll and nose wheel come off the ground and they are in the air) Thanks for a wonderful video. (Mississippi gulf coast, USA)
Die Lockheed C - 5M Super Galaxy ist gigantisch und wendig zugleich. Es vergehen keine 20 Sek. und der Riese hebt ab. Kurze Pisten sind für diese Maschine kein Problem. Short takeoff ........ wow!!
Love these. I live, literally, a stones throw from Wright-Patterson. In no way do I condone such action, I could throw a rock over there fence. My father ( God Bless Him ) was an aircraft mechanic on W.P.A.F.B. I spent a few nights while he was working Mid Nights on the flight line. Sadly, the C5s have left us. We have the rather puny C17s here now. The C5 has a sound which I love to hear. Self supporting statement here; I have a couple videos from action here. My old neighbor and I got run off one night but the M.P.s told me that I could keep the footage.
My father worked on the C5-A Galaxy at Kelly A.F.B. He used to tell me stories about them and what he worked on. He painted them at one point then he worked cleaning the engines and in sheet-metal. I loved the roar of the old engines. I still see them fly over everyday and it brings back fond memories of him 😪 I hope it brings you good memories too. Thanks for posting, I bet it was a real surprise seeing one land over there. I've thought of posting videos of all the action I see at Lackland A.F.B. - A.W.A.C.'s, different jets, other cargo planes, and some Boeing planes since they have a plant down here. Maybe I will since so many people don't get to see them often and so many are interested.
Au jour d'aujourd'hui, je pense que le C-5M est le deuxième avion de transport le plus gros du monde, après l'AN-124. L'AN-225 ayant été détruit récemment. Quel étonnant système de direction du train d'atterrissage principal !!! Pour manoeuvrer sur le tarmac, c'est un gros avantage...me semble t'il. Merci pour cette vidéo intéressante et de très bonne qualité... Salut de France.
Is it a coincidence that the blue whale is the largest whale and the A346 (in this case with a blue livery) is the largest aircraft that can use this parking position? Anyway, thanks for watching, glad you've enjoyed it :)
saw my first C-5 while TDY at Frankfurt Ger. an A model landing in a cross wind! full cross wind crab! We C-130 pukes were saying, "what's he doing?" I've enjoyed several space-a flights on "the five!" The pilot sits equivalent to 3 stories above ground!!! Phenomenal aircraft!!!
Saw one atGreenham Common airshow back in the early 80s. It did a low pass and was amazing. At that time Greenham was an American Air Force base housing Nuclear cruise missiles. Also saw the SR71 on display. Now Greenham is closed.
I was stationed @ Greenham in the 1960s when SAC had B47 bombers & electronic countermeasures planes there.. U2 missions were also being flown from there in 1963
Spirit captures 🙏 So cool 👍 Unique video, flawless work and unforgettable impressions ! Im at the happy point of no return ✓ Thanks dear Friend ! You're a Wizard ✓
Well done. Richard. Designers are undersung heroes unless their product has "sex appeal", as in fashions, architecture, etc. Few realize the sheer quantity and import of the myriad good decisions a designer/team has to make to launch a successful design. Look around, everything artificial thing that you see is the product of some human's thoughtful creativity, much taken for granted. Respect and cheers!
Ese es un avion de carga militar ,cuando va él presidente a una nacional ,es él que se usa para llevar los carros ,helicópteros etc,solo es de uso militar y la Nasa tambien lo usa algunas veces es el air force C- 5 m super galaxy ,son 45 pero operando solo hay 33 ,también la armada lo o usa en tiempo de guerra ,para llevar equipo pesados ...saludos y gracias aunque tengo nombre hispano ,naci aqui ,así q gracias
What are you talking about? The C5 fleet has been in constant service since 1969. The original and problematic C5A's have been retired from service or upgraded to the AMP model, but the C5B, C5C and C5M models have always been active.
' wow beautifully coool nice C-5 super galaxy airplane... try put american space shuttle on the top C-5 and fly up away to the sky... C-5 is a part of 747 jumbo plane on the front nose
Rode one of these bad boys from Clark AFB in the PI to Kadena. Lost an engine in flight. Didn’t even know about it until we landed and the aircrew told us about it.
Lockheed builds fantastic aircraft. The C-5M is awesome! Of all heavy lifters this is the best!

Wow that was short takeoff!
hi D...
'
great C-5 run short takeoff because of empty load inside the C-5 and light weight
And a short landing; powerful aircraft
That airplane had to be more or less empty O_O
The acceleration for such a large plane is incredible and short take off. The power to weight ratio must be immense.
probably did not have any cargo
@@bob80q that's just it. When they're not loaded with a quarter million pounds of payload they are almost like sport planes.

It took off empty. That shortened the takeoff roll.

The Real Truth I caught a short hop from Yakota AB over to Korea on one in the early 80’s . You’re right, no visibility.
I went the other way, but from Yokota to Travis back in 89. Smooth flight though. Better than the ride in a C-130H I took from Dyess to the UK...
No windows and lights out after takeoff to aid in sleeping through the flight. The loads prefer it that way

I prefer the GE TF39. Sounds a lot better and the fan looks really unique.
I prefer this new engine. It gives the aircraft better performance.
Agreed the sound is unique but with the CF6 you are essentially gaining an extra engine worth of thrust at the maximum continuous power setting.

Great photography
I built f16s in ft worth tx. Next to carswell air force base.and you ought to see some of those plane's come n go.it'ground shaking.
I'm glad they brought the C5 out of retirement.
What are you talking about? The C5 fleet has been in constant service since 1969. The original and problematic C5A's have been retired from service or upgraded to the AMP model, but the C5B, C5C and C5M models have always been active.
I flew in one of these from Dover, Delaware to Frankfurt. It has a strange airline style passenger area with no windows. I didn't like that very much.
Ausgehfreakinzeichnet!!
Vielen Dank!

Rode one of these bad boys from Clark AFB in the PI to Kadena. Lost an engine in flight. Didn’t even know about it until we landed and the aircrew told us about it.
