Lockheed C-5 Galaxy Landing

The landing of a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, the largest military cargo
airplane in the US.

[@raysills]

Totally cool to see the gear deploy, and then swivel into position for landing. It must have been a challenge to secure the camera to the aircraft. It did it's job and gave us a great view.

[@longshot7601]

That was really funny. At first I thought: Where is he going? The runway is to the left. Is he going to make a REALLY tight turn to final? Then it was: Oh wait, he can just land on the runway in front of him.

[@robinvandorst8953]

Amazing view! Worked C-5's at Travis for ten years, went overseas, and then back to Travis and this time worked on C-141's till they went away. Lived on base and it's amazing what you learn to tune out (planes taking off and landing, engine runs for maintenance, etc,,,) my folks came down to visit and asked how we could sleep with all that noise, I asked back "what noise"?

[@747heavyboeing3]

141s were great looking birds as well. I only saw a few fly in person. Did they require more maintenance per hour compared to C5s?

[@robinvandorst8953]

@@747heavyboeing3 Sorry missed your reply. I would think it had a better MC rate than the C-5A & B's but not positive. After working on the C-5, it was just easier to work on in my opinion.

[@c.m.7037]

dooooood 100%

[@MarkBarrett]

They could have made the C5's landing gear both stronger and lighter, with the same number of wheels. Double up the 777's rear struts (4x6), and two front struts. (The front double steering struts would need a linkage, possible hydraulic with electronic controls.)

[@dickypratama2878]

i love c5 engine sound when it screaming, so satisfying

[@HamRadioTV]

Sadly, they no longer sound the same with the new engines installed. I liked that old sound too!

[@t0pmeevh]

Weird

[@schrap72]

You don't realize how fast that sucker is moving until you see the ground coming up! That has got to be one of the most impressive sights I've seen! And nothing beats the sound of the C-5's engines! Boy do I love that sound!

[@therobloxianaviator685]

[@LindMarcus]

Nice video of a great plane... But I found it disturbing that after the landing gears went down the forward set of doors apparently weren't locked properly after closing and continued to vibrate not being sealed properly tight to the belly surface... I would suggest to inspect this aircraft and the mechanics of the landing gear bays, just to avoid an accident some day.

[@ilovegoatsecks]

landing was 10/10. i thought he was gonna come up landing past the piano keys and hard touch down but the flare at the end was perfect. probably couldnt even feel it from inside the cockpit!

[@Bluesbabesrv]

Couple of times it got so quiet thought the plane was gliding. Cool video!!

[@karldunn1464]

That looks like Travis Air Force Base im about 8 minutes from there. Hear them all the time they also have the KC 135 refueler and the C17s. I remember the days of the C5 Galaxy it was deafening to hear and a huge aircraft.

Amazing how much smoke comes off the tires when they touch down. I wonder how many landings the tires on a C-5 can endure before they have to be changed?

[@leokimvideo]

Not sure why the landing gear was deployed so early, then again it's Air Force and they dont give a hoot about saving fuel because we're paying for it.

[@itc_thxo8365]

Hello how arr you

[@jamesberwick2210]

Back in about 1975-6, one of the C-5A's from Travis was at Altus doing touch and goes, on the closed side of the base. The gear came down, didn't turn forward, gave the green lights or the crew didn't notice, and made the world's shortest landing, smoked all the tires, caught fire and burned to the ground before the fire crews arrived. Everyone got off, but a total write off of the aircraft.

Cool video. Unique perpective. But I am really curious to how you attached the camera. I am traveling with a similar aircraft up to Greenland soon, and I would love to capture something like this. Do you mind sharing a couple of tips? Would appreciate it :) Best if wishes.

[@sincityq]

Loved watching C-5s come and go from Hunter AAF in Savannah back during the Cold War. Magnificent ships of the sky... but, once Congress defunds their production in 2016, they will slowly disappear... like the F-14 US navy fighters and so many others.

So its basically a timing thing. Knowing how much and when to pitch up to avoid a hard landing or float to long.

the second craziest landing gear of all aircrafts...the craziest? look at the retraction of b-52`s landing gear and you will agree with me

[@nmdiesel89]

always amazed me how planes designed and built in the 50's and 60's are still in service to this day and keep up with operational demands. C 130's, C5's, B52's platforms have done an amazing job with being able to be slightly up dated over time to continue service. Still amazes that the SR71 was first thought up and put to paper in the late 50's.

[@LottiDotti76]

The SR-71 will always be my favorite plane overall. I am retired Air Force. These are my favorites by type (not that anyone cares, but I will list them anyway LoL). Attack: A-10 Bomber: B-1B Cargo: C-17 (C-5 for sound) Fighter: F-16 (F-22 a close 2nd) Tanker: KC-10 Spy: SR-71 Badass Bonus: C-130 Spectre Gunship! Just looking at the list is a whole can of badassery!
