62AW, 8th Airlift Squadron C-141B Flight Engineer here...damn I do miss flying! I applied for the C-5 Galaxy, but didn't have enough rank, so go the C-141B. It was still a very capable workhorse for the military, but just not the behemoth that the C-5 is. We called the C-5 the "Hydraulic Pig", every time it landed, it always leaked hydraulic fluid SOMEWHERE! LOL...VERY COSTLY to maintain these bad boys! 😜😜😜😜

I seen the Flybys of the C5M but sadly I couldn’t make it for the landing

Beautiful Bird" does anyone know how heavy the nosecone is,?

Wish I knew!

[@JesusLovesYouPerfectly]

i think if a blue whale could be strapped with a pair of wings and four engines, this plane is probably what it would look like

[@easygoing2479]

The same feeling crosses my mind when I see one. Other planes look like planes; this thing looks like a giant whale.
