Thank you Henry, this was nice appreciate 😊
Thank you Sue!! I am glad I went to capture this activity. Sadly it did not lend itself to a live show due to the long periods of downtime.
Wonderful Stream, Thank you Henry
Glad you enjoyed it, my pleasure🙏🙏
Wow! That C5 Galaxy was fantastic! I still love and really miss the sound of the C5A engines and the way they screamed! They used to fly right over my condo on their way to Dobbins AFB in Marietta, Georgia. Those planes were real icons!
Thank you Heather.. Yes, I was super lucky to be able to experience the C5 Galaxy at Abbotsford last month. You’re also very very lucky to live so close to a US airbase with awesome airplanes. Thank you very much for commenting and all your support. I really appreciate it.
Great military action, great video Henry!
AH we meet again cool vid!
Thank you, Garry. It was an awesome day that afternoon watching these heavy arrivals at Abbotsford. I’m I’m hoping a similar performance can be enjoyed before the Abbotsford Air show. I’m looking forward to making another effort out there to see how that goes. Look forward to meeting you in person one of these days as well.
@@JetFlix hi Henry.. you sent your response for Gary Suha to me in error
The KC-135 from 97th Air Mobility Wing, Atlus AFB, Oklahoma is showing a Triangle Y marking of the 97th Bombardment Group from WW2.
Thank you very much for that information and clarification. I very much appreciate it.
The KC-135R came from Tinker AFB which does deep aircraft. That aircraft is probably fresh out of maintenance.
Thank you Scott.
@@JetFlix I visited Tinker AFB and learned about all the maintenance they do on KC-135, B-52s & B-1s. There was a KC-135 from RAF Middenhall at Tinker when I visited.
Nice catches.
It was an awesome day! I wish we had more days like this at Abbotsford .. I would be there!
@@JetFlixI was at the Moose Jaw airshow in 1990 and was there on the Monday when most of the planes left. I liked that better than the airshow itself.
@@crushingvanessa3277 I agree the arrivals and departures days are almost always better than the actual airshow days! Simple reason being that the heavy metal usually does not fly during the airshow, only the smaller planes that are light on fuel fly. This is why airshows love biplanes and warbirds .. because they burn so little fuel.
@@JetFlixSame happens at some car shows I've been to, you get to see which ones actually drive in and which are the "models".
Hey wait a second, I remember you, aren't you from airshowtv or something like that? I would watch your videos all the time.
That is me. My website at the time was AirlineTV .. you have an excellent memory.
@@JetFlix Great to see you in Abbotsford again. I'm headed to Oregon in a few weeks for their airshow. They have F-15, F-16, F-18, F-35, C-17, and KC-135 all doing demos, Strike Eagles on static. Hope you will be filming for Abbotsford in August.
That wssnt planned he bounced cap called go round gets a meatball on first one lol
Cool vid! but you better watch saying thanks to the '"boys" some may be '"gals"
Yes you are right!!!! I think most of these aircraft were flown by female pilots👍👍👏👏👏
The KC-135R and KC-46 don't have thrust reversers ...why is that? Their civilian counterparts do. (707 and 767)
This is a question for Google, but it was always my understanding that the military versions of the 707 and 767 do you have the thrust reversers that were installed on the civilian versions of the aircraft?
More likley raspberries or blueberries than grapes
The KC-135 go around was done because they landed too fast.
It looked like that to me too .. that is why they did a double bounce.
