25 years in the Air Force. Over half of that as a C-5 and C-17 loadmaster. That whine is something that I can never unhear. Even their photos have a sound.
Cool!! Working on an active flight line must have been incredibly exciting provided that one also paid very close attention to the safety procedures. During my Army days, I was stationed in Hawaii not far from Hickam AFB. I often went down to a viewing area just across the lagoon from Reef Runway and watched all sorts of planes come and go from Honolulu International as well as Hickam. How much fun that was, especially at dusk as the sun was setting. C5's came and went all the time. They did indeed have a sound unlike most other aircraft.
I was a C-5 LM. Always thought it would be great to crew on the -17, but decided to get out after 8 years. Flying around the world was the best time of my life.
😂😂😂 Good lord I will love to live near an Air Force bass and hearing these giant aircraft taking off and landing, especially the C5 galaxy which is one of many favourite aircraft
It's interesting to see so many people line up to watch this plane take off. Both This plane and the C-17 take off and land every day here in San Antonio multiple times on a daily basis and nobody bats an eye.
This was recorded back in 2016 and it's a regional small airport in northern Poland. After the start of the full scale war in Ukraine, up to 9 sorties per day have been happening in another small airport in south east Poland, Rzeszow. And after a few initial take-off nobody gathers there anymore, it became an unfortunate norm
They don't scream anymore. They changed the engines on the whole fleet a few years ago. Westover C5 ARB is near me. You always knew when one was coming into or leaving the Springfield MA area, or doing drills where they would circle the area and practice drop n go runs. 2002 to 2005 was an especially busy time.
My brother is a retired Air Force Colonel and he flew both C-17 and C-5s. He was based in Charleston SC. They are massive when you see them in person. They are like flying buildings. Super impressive!
I was about 7 years old first time I saw one fly in person. There was a weekend airshow at the airport near my house and all the planes were leaving the day after. Unfortunately the wind would have them takeoff heading away from my house instead of over it, but we were close enough to hear the jet engines. I went up on the roof of the house and sat there with my dad’s radio that could pickup the tower. When it finally took off I could see it climb from about four miles away, then turned north and flew off. Not sure if it was a C-5A or B, but it had the old white on top, grey on bottom color scheme. Even though it was so far away I was so excited to see it fly.
So from experience, they really aren't that loud anymore, that sounds like an A/B model, the C/Ms aren't really that bad, you can still here them 1/2 off if they're at power, but I think fighters are way louder/ far more distinct in person, and props are the loudest when you're close to them
Have seen these beasts close up on take offs and landings at Dover Air Force Base - and especially on landings they seem like they're moving to slowly to be aloft - just amazing to see - and to hear !!
Yes as of sept 2016 there 8 powered c-5 aircraft with the tf-39 engines. Jan of 2017 there will be 5 remaining. By the end of 2017 there will be zero remaining. Hope this helps
Too bad they don’t upgrade the engines again, maybe use the engines that the 747-8 have rated at 100,000 lbs of thrust. Mind you these hand on pylons that are made from one piece of forged titanium (and with $200,000,000,000 in missing pentagon funds), I’m sure they could afford them for the fleet of C5’s.
C-5 galaxy can carry anything our military can offer, Tanks,A-10's,Fighter jets,boats,it can even carry wine and ping pong balls it can carry almost anything
@@kickdabucket Not the whole thing, but one of our birds at Travis hauled part of another C-5 that had burned up on the ground. The scrapped most of it on site, but the fwd. upper fuselage was not badly damaged. They loaded that onto another C-5 to take it to be stripped for spare parts.
The new engines they put on the Galaxy's just don't compare to the incredible sound these old ones made. The old ones projected the raw power of the aircraft.
@@PeterKKraus Yes and in addition allow 30% shorter takeoff and 38% quicker times to initial altitude. The new engines are like having over 4-3/4 of the old engines thrustwise.
+Epic Gaming1080p are you a service member? if no, what do you really know about the "sound of freedom" in our eyes? matter fact, i think ive run into you before about something similar to this. your name looks VERY familiar to me from another video were you clashed with a service member and myself.
Capstar 326 My brother you are so right about that ignore ignore people like that who are not even on our level he has sacrificed nothing but has a lot to say.

A couple months ago, Air Force One made touch and go landings here at Bangor International and that did draw a pretty good crowd! Even the AN225 used to come here at times and what a sight that was since it was the world's largest plane but now the largest plane is the Stratolaunch 6 engine job which has a wing spread of something like 375 feet. I would love to see that but it will never come here to Bangor.
It's like watching the empire state building take off. You can't really appreciate this monster until you walk around it and see the cockpit. If you have a local air show you can get to to, that has this, go. Your kids will love you for it.
The C5's have made touch and go landings here at Bangor International for at least 40 years and they still do so it is like an every day thing and they never draw much crowd.

TF-39s are an experience. Crazy that UA-cam is the only place they will ever be heard again. Still gives me chills, BUT I love my M-Model though.

And you love it!

This isn’t the USA. Even in Los Angeles we see chinooks and black hawks.
Hom wany SU 35 you see taking off?
Ikr the I see so much c5s c17s c130
The number of planes people see each day in San Antonio has zero effect on the interest other people have in seeing them.

i went to westover job corps in 07-09 and that was the highlight of my day watching and listening to those come and go!
That is true and for that, i don't care to watch them much anymore!
Sounding like four angry demons! Incredible!
0:29 The Doppler effect is INCREDIBLE!
I served as a US Military Combat Pilot x 26 years, This always blows my mind as to the Power the C5 has. I can never get enough of these videos
That sure was quick. Best viewpoint over the fence, nice one 👍
Those screaming, howling, roaring engines are music to my ears. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

The sound of a C-5 Galaxy taking off is remarkable. Once you hear it, you want more...!!!
I swear, it's like a war cry

That buzz saw noise. Those fans are spinning incredibly fast. Faster than the speed of sound
Those are insanely loud engines when you hear it fly overhead from takeoff.

@@adamhartman3799 the B-1 in afterburner is the loudest thing I have ever heard.
@@FlashCadallic well its basically 4 f-16s so yeah, I get that haha
I will never unhear that howl!
Have seen these beasts close up on take offs and landings at Dover Air Force Base - and especially on landings they seem like they're moving to slowly to be aloft - just amazing to see - and to hear !!
Great video. What you're watching is basically American technology that is 50 years old. I believe it was used at the end of the Vietnam War.
I thought the C-5 was a slug...I've seen take offs that take 25 seconds to get off the ground...these were much quicker...
That plane had to be hollow, or maybe it was carrying a couple of bicycles.
Sounds like an airlifter in the era of MAC should sound!
Such a beautiful sound..
Awesome video! I didn't know there were any non-M versions still out there with the TF 39s. What an insane sound those things make.
Yes as of sept 2016 there 8 powered c-5 aircraft with the tf-39 engines. Jan of 2017 there will be 5 remaining. By the end of 2017 there will be zero remaining. Hope this helps
It takes several months to modify a C-5B to a C-5M
Miss the sound of this plane. It was so epic. Nothing like it
Too bad they don’t upgrade the engines again, maybe use the engines that the 747-8 have rated at 100,000 lbs of thrust. Mind you these hand on pylons that are made from one piece of forged titanium (and with $200,000,000,000 in missing pentagon funds), I’m sure they could afford them for the fleet of C5’s.
That C-5 sounded like it was angry
I'll miss that sound. The M sounds like a commercial airliner.
To be more specific, it sounds like a 747-400.
That is truly the sound of freedom.....
They didn’t go there to watch it; they went there to listen to it.
Can someone seriously estimate the take off run distance? Seemed to be pretty short!
The grinding sound in addition to the whine is when the powerplants are at +100% power. It's amazing that the C-5 can even do that.
Thanks guys for the heart. Viva Unkraine and let's get the 225 back off the ground!! (Eventually)
I used to live in Newburgh Ny near Stuart AFB and they would fly over every day . Shakes the house lol
Can it do a short take off with 2 M1A1s loaded?
No proszę jakie cudeńka w archiwum. Super !
The fan growl on these TF39s, dare I say it, is better than the Rolls Royce RB211's. Wow.
My favorite airplane since I was a kid. An absolute beast! Love the old school sound
よく見たら滑走距離驚異的に短いなー
Dołączam do 11 tysięcy łapeczek w górę 👍
Dzięki :)
that's a REAL C5 with tf39 engines!
SO awesome to see Poland in NATO. It is great to see the interest from the Poles in a plane I spent years on maintaining.
Airlifters don't often attract spectators, give 'em a show when they come out.
that sound acutally scares me ;-;
A haunting sound.
The sweet american sound of freedom
@@albertcarrymoccasin7400 ghhyyhhhjj
@@gordo1163 Do not forget the A10's BRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTT
google the Vulcan howl, the old Vulcan british bomber made this characteristic howl. It is scary and cool at the the same time.

it can carry almost anything
MattyTdog but can it carry another c-5? mind=blown
kickdabucket it can carry a c130, without wings of course
@@kickdabucket Not the whole thing, but one of our birds at Travis hauled part of another C-5 that had burned up on the ground. The scrapped most of it on site, but the fwd. upper fuselage was not badly damaged. They loaded that onto another C-5 to take it to be stripped for spare parts.
Can it carry an aircraft carrier? I mean you said "anything that your military can offer". Are you sure that will fit in the back of it?
@@kingy002 You can, but you have to turn the aircraft carrier sideways. After draining the fuel, which goes without saying....
Those engines... wow 👌
More than conventionally taking off, this plane seems to just power itself into the air as if to say "to hell with air left help".
Amazing
That sound!
damn i just the sound of those engines, awesome video 🖒🖒
the city is called DANZIG
XXXX
Bravo for the engineers for making this absolute hunk of a metal take flight without even using a third of the the runway.
The zoom is for getting closer. .
I just configure that amazing sound as my ring tone!! 😂😂
Great :)
I love the sound of those fans as the plane is coming towards the camera.
Bad ass sound of the old school engines.
love those turbines
That gave me goose bumps
Awesome
Running down hill helps!
Hello friends how is a form
Just got the chills after it first passed 🤣
we'll never get to hear those tf39's again :(
thomas edison engines
damn i love the sound of those engines, awesome video 🖒🖒
Enrique Reyes The sound of those engines reminds me of the C-141 Starlifter. Those turbines would scream.
Sounds like a dinasaur. Flew on one of these one. Took me a long way from home in just a short time. Fortunately it brought me back after 1 year. PTL
Poland right?
The new engines they put on the Galaxy's just don't compare to the incredible sound these old ones made. The old ones projected the raw power of the aircraft.
Yes but the new ones are more efficient as well as quiet. Less of an obvious target without the noise.
@@PeterKKraus Yes and in addition allow 30% shorter takeoff and 38% quicker times to initial altitude. The new engines are like having over 4-3/4 of the old engines thrustwise.
Lol but was he fully loaded or empty? :)
It had to be empty, even so that probably brings its weight down to 350k lbs
bird must have been damn near empty on fuel and no cargo to be THAT short of a run.
Sure looks that way. We departed Volk field Wi empty with only 60,000lbs of fuel and the T.O. roll was just over 1000'
+rescuav8tor yeah, i do AirMed work now. no way he had a standard fuel load and pull that off.
Almost looks like it's going downhill.
Maybe a good headwind too, that's a pretty short take off for that bird.
Nice video.
Thank you.
Thank you:)
Those engines look so small OMG .. how is it flying lol
It's in Poland , gdansk

Hi
I can't help but imagine this is how we look taking off from the middle east back in the 90s heading back to Ft. Campbell, KY.
Sweet!
Believe it or not, even if this video is fake. A C5 only needs about 1600 feet for a STOL. It may be huge but it boasts a lot of power.
You want to impress another country. Bring one of those in. That'll shut 'em up quick.

When was this filmed? That sure sounds like it's still running TF39s. Nothing but nothing else sounds like that banshee howl.

podobny dźwięk słyszałem jak na korfu pilot musiał dawać moc 100% żeby wystartować z tego krótkiego lotniska w stronę wzgórza.
nice
How in the world that big son-of-bitch gets up in the air that quickly
The C5's have made touch and go landings here at Bangor International for at least 40 years and they still do so it is like an every day thing and they never draw much crowd.
Beautiful 🤩✌
bonjours les sénégalais
I miss the sound of those old engines. Early model 747's used them as well.
Hell. Yeah.
