Planespotting Highlights STR: E-4B, C-5, C-17, 787-10 & more

[@thunderhorsemj]

The E4B is my all-time favorite military aircraft. As a USAF veteran, I worked and flew on board it for almost 20 years!!! To me, there is no view more stunning than to watch this aircraft come in for a landing. Awesome memories.

E4B is home based in my city, Omaha, Ne at Offutt AFB . It’s great to see them flying overhead on a regular basis,

[@lmj06]

How pften do they actually fly? because i'd only assume that they would fly for a reason and training would be on a simulator due to the extremely important mission of the E-4

On 9 April ago, this aircraft 10-0223 (see at 9:07) was caught fire just after landing at Charleston AFB just from Mildenhall RAF Station in UK. The aircraft suffers substantial damage on left fuselage just under the left wing.

[@pinmode]

It still looks terrible. Time stamp 09:29 and 09:49. At the very least, it should be painted.

Interesting how the E4B's engines sound a hell of a lot like the TF-39's

[@DeathRaven.]

They do, but I’m pretty sure the E4B’s are the GE CF6 engines.

@@DeathRaven. General Electric developed the CF6 from the TF39, so it makes total sense they sound similar.

4:00 that Globemaster needs a new coat of paint. so does the one at 9:55. What's with the paint on these planes?

[@wakeupcall2665]

That is a C or D-check item. Check out American aircrafts, top of wings and aft fuselage. Often they look like in a terrible state. De-Icing is also causing a lot of ugly marks. But paint certainly isn’t a job that gets done twice a year

[@Philipp1974]

Standard Boeing quality ;-)

[@pinmode]

The C-17 in question, 0223, caught fire while landing at Charleston, SC on 09Apr21. It seems to have been repaired but not completely repainted at the time this video was taken. Hopefully, it has been completely restored by now (July).

[@AlexvanNoije]

Again a stunning video. Some really good quality from your hand! My favorite is the E-4 as you almost never see them, really awesome shots 😎 One small tip, use a little bit less sharpening in the post processing, the video looks a bit over sharpened 😉 Keep up the good work, I always watch all your vids 💪

[@FRAproductions]

Thanks for your feedback 👍 We will check this with the sharpness - since a few videos we use another sharpening workflow in post production. Could be of that... Thanks again!

[@AlexvanNoije]

@@FRAproductions which kind of sharpening do you, normally I use the standard sharpening in the lumetri in Adobe Premiere; if you use some other technique I am open to learn as well 😁 Would be nice if there is some high pass filtering technique available for premiere like the one we use in photoshop 😎

[@FRAproductions]

We use the same like you - but two times during our workflow. Seems to much 😁... Especially If there is heat haze it looks too sharp. I checked out some Plugins but it wasn't better...

[@AlexvanNoije]

@@FRAproductions Nice, think once is enough, I always use 50 to 70 percent for a sample! I film with the Nikon 200-400mm lens so it doesn't need much 😁 I gues you also use after effects for stabilization (motion tracker)? Your samples are also always very stable!! 😎

Can someone explain to be what's the bumb on the top of 747? And why did all these US planes go to Stuttgart?

[@deggiboi98]

The bump is called the ray dome. It‘s were all the communication and technology is. It‘s has satellite dishes and antennas. So the plane can communicate with ground forces.

The SHF Satellite antenna is contained in there.

April 24, 1997: the US Air Force is holding a massive air show at Nellis AFB, Nevada for its 50th Anniversary. Everything the US Air Force owns at the time is on display and/or flying, in addition to some of the very best air demonstration teams in the world at the time (Great Britain, Italy, Brazil, Japan, the US Navy’s Blue Angels and of course the Thunderbirds.) At the time I was stationed at Nellis, so I had a front row view of the entire operation. A C-17 is doing its demonstration, and they land, roll down the length of the runway, stop, then start backing up using the thrust reversers. Being the jokester I have always been, I started beeping...an 80-year old WWII veteran turns to his wife and says “see! I told you it had to have a backup alarm!”

[@edhoc2]

16:03 Die Flugdaten passen nicht zum Flugzeug. Hast du vielleicht Start und Ziel vertauscht? Das Flugzeug hat die Triebwerke auf Umkehrschub eingestellt, das macht man nur bei der Landung, nicht beim Start. Veröffentlicht die U.S. Air Force ihre Flugdaten? Werden die auf den Flugdatenportalen wie flightradar24 oder flightaware nicht unterdrückt? Interessant, dass du bei einem Besuch in Stuttgart so viele besondere Flugzeuge gesehen hast. Und dazu sehr gut ins Bild gesetzt! Und du scheinst ausgerechnet am 13. April 2021 da gewesen zu sein, an dem der US Außenminister die US-Kommandozentralen Eucom und Africom besuchte. Deswegen bekamst du wohl so viele U.S. Air Force Flugzeuge zu sehen.

[@FRAproductions]

Hallo und vielen Dank für das gute Feedback! Die Flugdaten bei 16:03 sind korrekt, die C-17 Piloten öffnen zum Test häufig vor dem Start die Triebwerke - ist kein Umkehrschub - sieht nur so aus. Richtig, wir sind extra zu diesem Datum nach Stuttgart gefahren, da wir wussten dass die E-4B kommt. Die Militär Flugdaten kann man während des Fluges auf Radarbox oder vor allem auf globe.adsbexchange.com sehen.

[@edhoc2]
