C-5 Takeoff

[@whiplash8277]

Amazed how silent the bird was in the cockpit and how fast it went from dead still to rotation.

[@cornbread83]

Must be the newer C5M. It was so quiet. I miss the old TF39 growl.

[@michaeltipton5500]

Me too. That was the sound of get the hell out of the way.

[@cefb8923]

Yeah I think they're all M's now. All the rest are in the boneyard. I miss the TF39 too.

Old Crew Chief C-130E 1966-1969 61ST TAS.

I bet these guys once they do their bit, or retire from the USAF will probably fly for a commercial carrier. It would be a step down from a driving semi to a RAV 4..

[@allenmurray7893]

Not all of them do. Some even fly corporate.

[@VetusBarbatus]

What a beautiful cockpit that is

[@marcosavila8215]

[@P8290970]

[@lvsluggo007]

Must be empty, with how fast it got off the ground.

Cadillac of the sky

[@Tradiejoe284]

I've heard these are broken all the time. What's your opinions on that guys?

[@airplanes42]

yep, fuel flow was really 60,000 lbs/hr at takeoff power.....

[@JimMacintosh]

Those new engines sound terrible!

[@Inspadave]

Those new engines are better in every respect.

[@suasponte8363]

Was that Fort Bragg?

[@bob80q]

Lackland crew but it looked like it might be Dover. Doesn't look like Pope.

[@allenmurray7893]

@@bob80q it's not Dover.

[@CraigJensen-tq7sq]

Dang, that bird could not wait to get off the ground. The engineering behind getting these behemoths airborne blows me away.

[@robertocarreira5185]

So silent.

[@kwd-2023]

Barely looked like it was going 50mph when it lifted off.

[@controlledburst]

Look how tiny that runway is 😁

[@adenilsonsouza6055]

Excelentes pilotos!

[@navigant321]

[@ryansimpson4781]
