I flew as a military passenger in a C5 Galaxy from Rhein Main Air Base, Frankfurt, Germany to Dover AFB, Delaware in 1979.
Passengers sit on top , seats facing backwards with only an occasional porthole to look outside. Best long distance flight I ever took, lots of leg room between seats for 76 passengers, and flight only cost me about $10 for the in flight box meal. 🐶🤡 Great camera work !
"Great job in Keeping the Entire Airplane in the Picture !!!"
If anyone is interested, the USAF Designation for the C-5M's engines is: F138 GE-100. This engine is better known as the CF6-80C2B-1, and is part of the same family of engines that power the E-4B Nightwatch NAOC, the KC-10A Extender, the VC-25A/Air Force One, and the new KC-46A Pegasus Tanker.
The acceleration for such a large plane is incredible and short take off. The power to weight ratio must be immense.
probably did not have any cargo
@@bob80q that's just it. When they're not loaded with a quarter million pounds of payload they are almost like sport planes.
This is the new, more powerful "M" model. I spent the last 14 years of my childhood getting to be an amateur planespotter. My father was in the U.S. Air Force. I have always loved watching C-5's and C-130's as they were always around and still are well over 50 plus years later. We were stationed at Ramstein AB West Germany during my senior year of high school and we had frequent C-5's coming and going. The high school at Ramstein is only a few hundred meters off the center line of the bases only runway. It was a particularly blustery, rainy day in early November. We were outside doing our JROTC Color Guard practice for an upcoming event when all 5 of us heard the tell tale "banshee" howling of a C-5 taking off and thought nothing more of it as we huddled in our winter jackets and kept marching around the football field. Fast forward about 120 seconds and we were still hearing those screaming engines and we, almost as one, all stopped to look over our shoulders and that C-5 literally looked as if it were being held motionless by some impossible force, yet it was still pointed skyward. We all just stood there, praying under our breath and willing that beast upwards and onwards. Finally, after what felt like 15 minutes (was probably 2 to 3 minutes) she was clearing the tree lined horizon and we all just stopped for a second to make sure all of us had just witnessed what felt like a miracle against the laws of physics...
Beautiful aircraft with a sound completely its own...
@@Wolverines77 .#7
@@Wolverines77 just a glitch in the Matrix. Nothing to be concerned about.
wow the rain, the haze, the time of day, the lighting....could not be more beautiful!
Wow that was short takeoff!
hi D...
'
great C-5 run short takeoff because of empty load inside the C-5 and light weight
And a short landing; powerful aircraft
That airplane had to be more or less empty O_O
Thank you for a gorgeous video! I was born and raised where these, the C-130 and C-141 were manufactured. As a child seeing these planes being tested was an everyday occurrence. While I like the scream of the TF-39s on the C-5A, they are still distinctive planes and it is still good to see these birds flying. They're like an aluminum overcast as they go overhead, massively impressive.
I was in the Army however I've flown on C5's many times. What a comfortable flight.
It's fascinating the way that door disappeared .
Lockheed builds fantastic aircraft. The C-5M is awesome! Of all heavy lifters this is the best!
What a beautiful Plane...So huge., so loud, so intimidating, but so safe! It looks to be halfway down the runway on take off and it lifts it's nose and gains airspeed!
I'm a Air Force veteran. When I was station at Clark AB Philippines, I would watch the C-5 (FRED) land and take off all the time. This is my favorite cargo plane
DAMN it didn't even need that much runway 💪🏾🙌🏾 I love my country 🙏🏾♥️
Well, it was empty during takeoff, but still very impressive indeed.
USA proud
Trash, shithole country tbh
@@m.94 Please stay out of it or leave if you are in the US. Only POS I see here is you.
It took off empty. That shortened the takeoff roll.
I like how the pilots just keep it at 45 Deg. after taking off, just flexing the power.
Such a behemoth. I have been give a chance to see and touch first hand this awesome aircraft.... I'm in awe... Also how short of a take off required to get it off the ground is breath taking....
I got the joy of walking thought a C5 two time a while ago, the only thing i can say is, holy Chit that's a big ship.
We all miss the sound of the TF39 engine. It just not the same anymore
Yeah. It's better
@@Inspadave no bud
The C5 cannot actually fly. The Earth recoils away in submission out of pure respect.
AMEN , "WE ARENOT WORTHY , WE ARE NOT WORTHY " SAYS THE GROUND !
They look near stationary in flight as well. You can't help but look for the wires holding it up. I used to live near Travis AFB in Calif and they were an awesome sight. One did a fly by at a Muni Airport air show and freaked out so many people they waved off the return pass entirely. 911 was overwhelmed.
@@bobbysolo5411 - They fly. alright. I've seen them at JFB Andrews (takeoffs AND landings). When the nose lifts up, and you get to climb inside the cargo bay, you truly appreciate how monstrous the Super-G is.
Great. Good words.
Brian D, excellent comment. lmao
Good video. Especially A-340 of Azerbaijan.
Lockheed C-5M took off in 20 seconds from the moment the acceleration began. This is power.
Thank you. Yes, the takeoff is very impressive, although the load must have been very low I think.
Old but still good. I was the guy marshalling the C-5. This is when former president trump came to zurich. On departure, we were completely empty except for a tow bar. It was good to be able to show a video to my co-workers of one of my favorite stops in my career.
Thank you for taking this video and sharing.
I must say, this model sounds nothing like the "A's" do. The C5-A and B52s would make the shingles on your roof do quite a dance when one of them would be taking off.
And so were the Good Ole Days.
You're not wrong, sir. TF 39s were real screamers. They are now talking about hanging CF 6 on the B52
watching this in 4K was like being in a dream
Still, to this day I am amazed by this aircraft. I was on the team that developed and built a new brake bleeding system for the Galaxy while I was at Kelly AFB in San Antonio during the mid 70's. I still stand in wonder when these birds float over my mom's house in SA making their approach toward Kelly/Lackland AFB.
Súper Awesome the C-5M 😳
I used to fly the C-5A. Wonderful memories...
Mike Connor I caught a ride from Yakota back to Korea in a C-5 back in about 83. Perhaps it was you piloting. Anyway those were indeed fond memories. I salute you, Sir.
How long does it take to kneel the aircraft and get the gear extended again?
Mike Conner was Mannix too.
Outstanding takeoff, Go AF!
Glad you got both the landing and takeoff, good job
good pilot skill of that C 5M galaxy,he turned that plane very well remind me with huge container truck driver turned his truck to parking
I am retired from the United States Air Force and am very proud of our military. Awesome video. What quality! Thanks for doing this!!!!
Thanks for watching, glad you've enjoyed it. The next WEF will be in less than 4 months, maybe I get another chance to film one of these beasts.
Proud of killing innocents ha , fucking trash can
@@m.94 All I can say is you are appropriately named.
@STool 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 go to your shithole country 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The C5 is the epitome of the guy she told you not to worry about
I've been very lucky to have been able to work on the flight-deck of the USS America during the '6 Day War', at 17 years old! And then to have lived on to see how far we've come......................................
It doesn't even look like it's flying in the last few seconds, more just floating away like a big balloon!
I was in Wildwood New Jersey, very young and I watched this. The fly over along the coast, south to north, on its first the demonstration flight. It was just stood there and then it was out of sight. Decades later, It's still awesome. Got to fly in two. Other countries may now have bigger, None have better! Plus, we've got C17'S and some much more!
Regular airport ! What a treat
Holy crap, what an awesome catch! Sounds like somebody's scanner was dying ;) Shame that the touchdown was blocked, but you more than made up for it with that amazing departure shot! Loved it!
Thanks a lot. my scanner is always dying when something special is about to show up... typical life of a spotter isn't it?
What a beast this is... the stopping power is incredible!!!
Wow! What an amazing aircraft
As a Civilian employee, thanks to the Air Force,
First time I saw one. In basic training at Lackland. We had been there a few weeks so our TI knew us by then and would be human sometimes. We were in formation and he faced us. "See that? That's a C-5. And that is why you do all this shit. If you can't do this you can't do that." TSgt Marcum early 80s.
I watched a C-5 land nose gear up at Clark. The jet survived with relatively minor sheet metal and gear repairs. Lots of sparks and concrete dust though.
beautiful plane
This Video was Uploaded on my birthday
Today the US Air Force has sent a real giant to Zurich in regard of the WEF taking place next week. Stay tuned for more ;)
Can't wait
I am retired US Air Force and can remember when the C-5 entered service in the early 1970's. I thought it was an amazing aircraft then and nothing has happened to change my mind. I had a chance to fly on one space-A coming back from Asia in the 1980's. Have to hand it to the hard working maintainers that keep these planes flying ... this one has been in service for more than 35 years! I'll bet the crew is younger than the aircraft.
I've literally driven a 5-Ton military truck from one end to the other through the cargo bay of the C-5 during my USAF career. Also did several Pacific transports as a passenger. The passenger deck is the hump in front of the tail. These guys are enormous and fly incredibly smooth.
Thank you for your service, Sir. God bless the USAF. 🇺🇸
Nice Video Mate. Great Filming.
Thanks!
Love those screaming engines!!! Nothing screams like a C-5 Galaxy!
The sound is great indeed. These are CF6 engines, used on several other aircraft as well.
Majesty of the skies.
Excellent quality ,thank you
Thanks for watching!
Took a lot of SPACE-A flights on C-5's out of Rhein-Main AB (when it was open adjacent to FRA) and Ramstein AB back in the 90s and early 2000s. Thanks US Air Force!
Excellent video. Thank you.🇬🇧
Thank you!
Beeindruckend ... gigantisch ... die Beschleunigung ... Danke für's Teilen ... klasse eingefangen 🖒
Vielen Dank!
Wow, was für ein Fang! Ein tolles Highlight! Daumen hoch! Gruss inselvideo!
Vielen Dank!
I missed my Port of Call, 747 commercial flight out of San Francisco Airport, and had to take a hop on the old C-5 Galaxy, all the way to Kadena Air Base in Japan, from Travis AFB, Ca. Man, was that a Looong flight, especially without any windows to look out... Almost 12 hours.
The Real Truth I caught a short hop from Yakota AB over to Korea on one in the early 80’s . You’re right, no visibility.
I went the other way, but from Yokota to Travis back in 89. Smooth flight though. Better than the ride in a C-130H I took from Dyess to the UK...
No windows and lights out after takeoff to aid in sleeping through the flight. The loads prefer it that way
I swear,when they close the forward loading nose,it looks like the aircraft is smiling
Very clear shots.......thank you.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!
Superb video! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Superb !
Nn
I miss the old sound of the C-5 Galaxy!
Great photography
Nice work as always.....👍
Thank you!
I love to watch any military plane land and take off, but the large ones are something to watch taking off (it seems like they just start their roll and nose wheel come off the ground and they are in the air) Thanks for a wonderful video. (Mississippi gulf coast, USA)
Wonderdul video mate!
Thanks!
Amazing what scientists can build.
Die Lockheed C - 5M Super Galaxy ist gigantisch und wendig zugleich. Es vergehen keine 20 Sek. und der Riese hebt ab. Kurze Pisten sind für diese Maschine kein Problem.
Short takeoff ........ wow!!
Hezké děkuji za ukázku :D
Super Video
Thank you!
Saw one atGreenham Common airshow back in the early 80s. It did a low pass and was amazing. At that time Greenham was an American Air Force base housing Nuclear cruise missiles. Also saw the SR71 on display. Now Greenham is closed.
I was stationed @ Greenham in the 1960s when SAC had B47 bombers & electronic countermeasures planes there..
U2 missions were also being flown from there in 1963
Where’s Greenham....England?
absolute unit
11:35 carrément hallucinant cette impression de puissance....c'est saisissant
WOW the "M"s sound so different. Also what a short takeoff roll. He must be light.
beautiful bird.
Amazing !!!
Thanks!
Nice view of the usaf c 5 m galaxy usa military plane
I rode in one of these carrying 70 + ton M1A1 Abrams tank. Load master said they could carry two! Really weird flying in something that big and heavy.
it looks so damn badass
I love C-5's!!! They make me miss the C-141 Starlifters , though.
I did my airborne training in the c-141....I miss it too....especially the last jump when I was the last one in the stick.....almost hit the trees.....
I've been on a C-141
FRED really stole the show at the airport!
awesome video.
Thank you!
I've been on board this tail number when it was still a B model
WOW!
Great video! Being that you mentioned this is a C-5M, you might want to update the engines on your info sheet. They are no longer TF-39s (miss that familiar whine!). They are now GE CF6-80C2. Thanks!
Thank you very much for watching. Ohh, didn't know that, I got the info from a spotter website, it's sometimes not that easy to get the info about military aircraft. Regarding the G650: I only mention an aircraft if it is the object that I intend to film, in this particular case it was the Galaxy. If i had to mention all aircraft in the frame the titles would become too much at some point, so I reduce it to an absolute minimum.
I used to live off of the arrival end of Bergstrom, and with the grinding whine of those old engines, plus the fact that the airplane looks like it's moving so slowly because of its size, I was convinced that every one of them was on short final to an imminent crash! Hah, quite a plane.
Love these. I live, literally, a stones throw from Wright-Patterson. In no way do I condone such action, I could throw a rock over there fence. My father ( God Bless Him ) was an aircraft mechanic on W.P.A.F.B. I spent a few nights while he was working Mid Nights on the flight line. Sadly, the C5s have left us. We have the rather puny C17s here now. The C5 has a sound which I love to hear. Self supporting statement here; I have a couple videos from action here. My old neighbor and I got run off one night but the M.P.s told me that I could keep the footage.
My father worked on the C5-A Galaxy at Kelly A.F.B. He used to tell me stories about them and what he worked on. He painted them at one point then he worked cleaning the engines and in sheet-metal. I loved the roar of the old engines. I still see them fly over everyday and it brings back fond memories of him 😪 I hope it brings you good memories too.
Thanks for posting, I bet it was a real surprise seeing one land over there. I've thought of posting videos of all the action I see at Lackland A.F.B. - A.W.A.C.'s, different jets, other cargo planes, and some Boeing planes since they have a plant down here. Maybe I will since so many people don't get to see them often and so many are interested.
Grrr...that Azerbaijan A340 blocked the touchdown!!! At least it was the best looking A340 out there! Still, amazing video mate! :)
Is it a coincidence that the blue whale is the largest whale and the A346 (in this case with a blue livery) is the largest aircraft that can use this parking position? Anyway, thanks for watching, glad you've enjoyed it :)
Haha, it is a coincidence indeed!
Yeah, I really wanted to see that touchdown, too.
very nice !
Amazing.
Thank you!
Gr8 filmed...:-)))
Thanks :)
Videos just don't do the C-5 justice! What an awesome aircraft
great video quality!
Thank you!
Short take off wow!
"Operation Nickle Grass" first deployment.
He's light... way light!
A very nice video of the Lockheed C5 Super Galaxy, I like your filming and editing. It was good seeing the C5 up close. Btw I am a new subscriber 😁🤘
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it and welcome to my channel :)
very good.
Thank you!
What a beast
Wow that beast didn’t need much runway to takeoff. That’s some power.
What A Giant
lift off speed amazing
It shows spectacular image results the 4k as close to reality ... waiting for an antonov 124 or an antonov 225 in 4k ..
hi J P A R...

ussr russia airplane an-224 / an-225 is a not important...
ussr russia an-224 / an-225 did copy steal from american first C-5 super galaxy
Ausgehfreakinzeichnet!!
Vielen Dank!
Thank you. JOY to my heart!!!!! Stuff you just never see. xoxoxo Richard (orig. designer)
Well done. Richard. Designers are undersung heroes unless their product has "sex appeal", as in fashions, architecture, etc. Few realize the sheer quantity and import of the myriad good decisions a designer/team has to make to launch a successful design. Look around, everything artificial thing that you see is the product of some human's thoughtful creativity, much taken for granted. Respect and cheers!
A remarkably short takeoff roll.
Que belleza de aviones...los felicito EE UU...que majestuoso país!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏amo a mi país, Argentina!!! Pero uds son buensimos👏👏👏😢
Ese es un avion de carga militar ,cuando va él presidente a una nacional ,es él que se usa para llevar los carros ,helicópteros etc,solo es de uso militar y la Nasa tambien lo usa algunas veces es el air force C- 5 m super galaxy ,son 45 pero operando solo hay 33 ,también la armada lo o usa en tiempo de guerra ,para llevar equipo pesados ...saludos y gracias aunque tengo nombre hispano ,naci aqui ,así q gracias
