My son and I always enjoyed watching the US C-5 Galaxy fly over our home each month. It was always one of those "drop everything" moments when we would run to our back yard and listen to the huge engines whine and see it descending to its destination. We did not know which base it came from or which one it was heading to. The overflights were discontinued a few years ago. 😥

The C-5A's "noisy"? That's the best sounding big jet EVER!

I was stationed at Travis AFB in 1980. Loaded a many C-5’s, C-141’s, C-130’s, 747’S, DC8’S, etc. The C-5 has the smoothest ride when going tdy. Retired years back. Still love that C-5 engine sound.

I love the view into the cockpit at 5:15 !

I was in USAF for 8 years and was stationed at Travis AFB for the last 4 of them; in the subsequent 35.5 years I lived in Fairfield, CA. Over those nearly 40 years, I grew quite used to--but never tired of--these behemoths flying overhead. I've moved since to the Pacific Northwest, so I only occasionally see its smaller cousin, the C-17, these days. My son wanted to be a loadmaster on a C-5, but he would've had to wait quite a while for a position to open. Instead, he is now an avionics technician for F-15Es in North Carolina.

Always loved that sound.

I live near to the fantasticC130s. Proud to have them in our Air Force fleet and the crew who are special part to keep them in top shape.

I was a flight line mechanic in the U.S. AIR FORCE. My memory of a C-5, I changed many to tires and refueled it.

The best thing about Fat Albert is it sounds like 4 Warthogs taking off at the same time.,. 😂

I see them everyday. I'm a few miles from Lackland

I got to fly on one of these and c17s to and from Afghanistan and Iraq and what a great flight!! I only flew on one charter and all the rest on these with my teams equipment!! Threw out my bed roll my computer and snakes it was better then first class!! One was on a med flight when I was injured in Iraq and it was filled with a bunch of us!! But I also got to fly all over on a C130 witch was a treat!!

imagine flying a 150million dollar plane and say "imma actually land like this just so i can practice" lol i hate war and the reason for these planes existence but the tech is so amazing

Incirlik to Germany on one. Loved it

These are still a slick looking plane considering it the design is nearly 60 years old.

I live about 5 miles from Travis AFB, I sure do miss the sound of those TF-39's.

Had the absolute privilege in traveling this sweet babe

Très jolie vidéo. merci de nous l'avoir montrée. Amicalement.

USA., ¡¡¡ Bravo !!! La experiencia y el amor a la patria y la familia ,es lo que hace tan atractivo este país de gringos ,que hasta los más ideologizados comunistas sueñan con comprar una residencia, con plata de la mafia. ¡¡¡ Viva USA !!!

Incredible video!! Absolutely loved it!! Great quality and information!!! New fan and subscriber!!

You ain't getting me to jump out of a perfectly good airplane unless it's going down

My first love aircraft 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Also on my flight from the east coast to Ft Lewis was I.n a converted KC130 and the pilots let me hang out in the cockpit!!

That’s 1 massive plane

Wow awesome training guys 👍

I took flight training at Fort Rucker Alabama in 1973 love those helicopter flight door gunner

1969-Vietnam War. The South Vietnam government would not allow us to land-too heavy for their runways.

Great Video…I saw a Westover C-5M (patriot wing) Chicopee Massachusetts in the video…I live in South Hadley Massachusetts….where I live as soon as a C-5M takes off, it’s wheels are just coming up as it flies over my house…(about a mile from end of runway 15…)

Este coloso veterano del aire y de mil batallas sigue siendo el Rey de los cielos ,el Big Pappy ,el Patron ,el jefe ,el Amo y señor ,el Titan ,el mero chingon como decimos en México.,colecciono aviones y aun no tengo uno de estos ,sin duda debe ser toda una experiencia ver a estos militares prepararlo para cada mision y mas al oir bufar de manera poderosa los motores que son apabullantes a la hora de oirlos ,otra gran pieza de ingenieria aerea !!!!!! ✈😎✈😎✈😎✌😎✌😎👍👍✈😎✈👍✈😎👌✈👌✈👍😎

Numa palavra: formidável!

And the funny thing the pilots were all kids..what a great job they did to!!

They should have saved one the C-5A's, because of their GE TF-39 engine for airshows because the unique sound those engines make. I realize the new engines are a MAJOR upgrade. Much quieter and more powerful.

3:56,,, MAJESTUOSO ✈️🇺🇲💪👍

I miss those old Cold War era engines

3:06 us airforce still using windows xp in 2022, my associates in Pyongyang will be VERY interested in this!! 😷

Blows my mind that everything we use today is from the late 50's and early 60's. It’s 2022…we should be advancing

Our whole battalion fit onto one of these big beasts when we flew to Europe. It takes almost as long to taxi to the end of the runway as it does to fly to Europe. Plus free baloney sandwiches and juice boxes thanks to Uncle Sam's Misguided Children.

16:01 Fragata FF-07 "Almirante Lynch" de Chile 👏👏👏

Know what? I have 30 Kangaroo shooters working for me. Trouble is, I can't get the Roos out to market fast enough. If I put in a runway, can I hire one of these beasts?

I have flown in both the C-5, and the C-141. Even helped load the C-5. The seating on the C-5 is much more comfortable. I have also seen more UNREFS and UNREPS, than I care too. On one UNREP, the supply ship lost sterrage (sp?) and a collision occured. Was frightening, as my workspace was above the refueling station. Fortunately, there was no fire.

I flew round trip to R.E.F.O.R.G.E.R. 1977. Had a window seat both ways. What are the odds of that? Yes… you sit backwards.

Why was other sea/land vehicles displayed in this video? Has nothing to do with the C-5 series aircraft. Please keep on topic.

What means "High-flotation" in German? Google does not translate these words.

It sucks with the new engines sounds like your ordinary commercial airline

Do you think it could take off at half throttle ?

was that a confederate flag he was hanging

✌🏼🇺🇸✌🏼

❤

how did a bunch of goofballs on 125 cc motorcycles beat us in the GHAN?

Couldn’t get off the ground if it wasn’t at “ full throttle.” Just sayin……….

"full throttle"! As opposed to what, exactly? Wank.
