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. 😥

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 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.

I remember during the preparation for the first Iraq war. I would see the these C-5s taking off from Travis and they were obviously loaded with a lot of weight. As the take off was rather low and much longer than I was used to seeing. I was out fishing at various times out in the Delta and I would see them taking off. The engine noise was also louder.

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.
