@@englishbob5106 yes, you are sad. Instead of moving on with your life, you decide to criticize 2 people who enjoy the content. get a life or seek a mental health expert. living through life miserably is no way to bee my gee

Can't agree more on that.

Apache's are humanitarian when looked in the right way

Would to love to see James or Jezza try to get into the hayloft.

Doesn’t take away that this plane is fucking enormous

As well as an organ.

Thank you for this

It feels a lot different when you see it open in person

@@nicholasdelporto3930 You get it, I saw one in person and it's hard for people to really get that perspective of its mass from video.

especially the babies who died when one crashed on takeoff

Depends on which Vietnamese.

Most of the world wouldn’t be happy to see it. I’d love to see the plane, it’s just the owners of the plane who scare me

@@captainCaybrew Why do the owners scare you? There only there to help people!

Well giving that funding they have...

It was when the C-5 was first built

@@eddieeaston791 CF6 was the first turbofan ever and it was developed for the C5.

No it isn’t. The nose of a C-17 doesn’t open like that.

@@crosscheck8770 they show a C-17 for a quick second, loading up an Apache. Look at the winglets

@@crosscheck8770 3:06-3:07 are shots of a C-17

@@ivanleonhart3466 And just a few seconds after there’s a C-141 Starlifter

They were just showing examples of things that the plane can carry as cargo. The C17 is smaller, so it goes to reason that if it can carry X item, then so can the Super Galaxy. They probably just couldn't find enough photos or videos of the sort of cargo they wanted being loaded/unloaded and had to settle for something close. That, or the person editing/producing the film isn't specifically a massive airplane/military nut and didn't notice the slight differences since they are in the outer edges of the frame, so most people won't notice and I doubt anyone but you all really care.

i heard that too, i did the math and according to my remedial level calculations, its closer to 190 tons

They are referring to the visor weight. (The visor is the name of the nose cargo door of the aircraft)

Searching the comment section to see if anybody else caught that he said 3.3 tons 😂😂😂

It's a week of man hour maintenance for every hour of air time. They didn't really explain it that well. If you have 12 guys working maintenance on it, it could be just half a day of service. To give an example, but that adds up to a week of man hours.

@@Cramblit That makes more sense, thank you for breaking it down.

The planes just got re-engined with GE CF-6s

@@gimmeaford9454 Eh kinda, but you see much higher payloads with the C-5M than the As. Usually they were performance limited in either runway length or fuel. Now you can trade 20% fuel weight for cargo in the same design (wing is lifting the same weight, it’s just different stuff).

They are referring to the visor weight. (The visor is the name of the nose cargo door of the aircraft)

Nah that’s just a beacon so they can find the wreckage, it doesn’t have anything to do with the black box

@@offended9081 So it’s an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)/Emergency Locator Beacon (ELB), in a shell of a black box?

@@ScottRothsroth0616 likely yea, because the black box shells are very durable and they want to keep that thing functioning.

Bare in mind there are 22+ of these C5M Super Galaxies in service in the US Air Force. They use them in rotation so there are always a few of them at the ready at any given moment whilst others are undergoing inspections upon return from a flight.

@@shona5512 Have you done the math? A round trip to the Middle East takes 26 hours. That would mean a C5 could only make 2 trips to the Middle East (52 hours) before it was required to have 52 weeks maintenance. An entire year of downtime to make two trips to, say, Iraq? The C5 is used extensively and for very long flights. In order for the claimed maintenance requirements to be as we are told there would need to be a fleet of hundreds if not thousands of these planes.

It weighs a lot more than 3 tonnes although I did hear him say that

I just searched it up and it weighs 172 tonnes

@@leweee I wonder why he said 3 tonnes then. Cos I swear he did defiantly say it’s three tonnes 😅

@@GamingGymnasts it looked like he was referring to the front end that was raising weighed 3 tonnes.

They are referring to the visor weight. (The visor is the name of the nose cargo door of the aircraft)

Ram 🐏 POAT mmmmmmmmmmmmking?

You could turn that thing into a mansion lmao

And, you'd be able to tell everyone at your local bar that your house is more aerodynamic than theirs, and/or that it was "designed in a wind tunnel" 😂😂

@@moogle68 I like the way you think

Not comparable. The C5 was always meant as as a cargo aircraft, while the A225 wasn't... It sort of just fell into that role after the USSR fell. It's larger for sure, but not necessarily "better" depending on what you're trying to do (which is why it's only used when *nothing* else will do).

Trust me, he most definitely can

No point. Too large, too unwieldy, and too inneficient at low altitude. The C130 platform is more appropriate.

i think he was talking about just the nose

@@loganh2876 i guess that makes more scens
