The Largest Aircraft in the U.S. Military

The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft originally designed and built by Lockheed, and now maintained and upgraded by its successor, Lockheed Martin. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsized and oversized loads, including all air-certifiable cargo.

I was a C-5B Crew Chief stationed at Dover AFB DE from 1991-1995. I was assigned to aircraft tail number 86013. Great experience! This plane is very reliable and has a safe track record. It only breaks when it sits on the flight line. It hardly breaks when it is being flown which is a good thing. I enjoyed traveling all over the world being a flying crew chief and I was only 18-21 years old. Good times.

[@bobcriss600]

During your travels....did you spend time on Guam? I was stationed there in 605th MASS an electrician..got to work on C5’s....

[@jeffb243]

My mom helped build the wings for the C5, C130, and L1011 here in Nashville. We got to tour the C130 & C5 in our early teens, the C5 was an awesome sight to see!!

[@laughtoohard9655]

A few years ago a Galaxy overflew me at an altitude of approximately 300 feet. It was mammoth.

[@bob80q]

bullshit, if it was a 300 feet you were standing at the end of the runway

[@xeno5489]

my dad not only built these, but also flew them for a decade before moving to the C-17. to this day hearing these planes above my house gives me a smile, dover strong

[@MeMyselfI_69]

I've seen quite a few of these when I lived on Vandenberg AFB. They are so large they look like they are flying slow and should fall out of sky.

[@joshuagill395]

Whenever the Air Force is practicing touch and goes at Dover Air Force base they’ll go right over my house. Just yesterday I walked out of the front door to see a C-17 flying over, tilted 30-45 degrees at 500 feet of altitude (asked my ATC friend). These planes are awesome, and I love seeing them from time to time

Dennis Crider that’s awesome, my dad spent most his time with the 3rd airlift and the c5, then i believe transferred to the 436th with the 17s!

[@CochinKerala]

They are gonna struggle to replace the C5.

[@thesirmaddog8209]

They will probably do what they did with the C-130 and just remake some

[@SPEARHEADGLOBAL]

C5 and it's newer versions will be there for atleast 20-30 more years...also it's no more in production...and c17 globemaster is effectively a better aircraft...so c5 is already replaced...

[@ReticleMan690]

@@SPEARHEADGLOBAL c17 is smaller, carries less payload and has less range. def not better.

[@thecreatorrepo9080]

@@ReticleMan690 it's better if you consider how much time a C5 sits on the ground due to it breaking. If you ever want to kneel it, consider it broken. I don't know how many time I had to upload and download the same C5 because it would break. So many wasted manhours bothering with that plane. C-17 much more reliable which is why you'll see the mostly at AMC terminals over a C5

I was thrilled to hear the mention of Travis A.F.B., CA. My dad was stationed there, when I was a kid, during the 1980's. A lot of great memories, and I got to see (inside and out) the C-5 Galaxy many times.

I live about 40 minutes south of Dover and watching these planes glide in slow motion back to DAFB is an amazing sight.

[@josephserenson166]

Lived in Dover at one point and it looks like the plane isn't even moving when it takes off and goes up in the air. It's amazing they can stay up in the air

[@jrios1168]

Oh, the beautiful sound of the TF-39s

[@semco72057]

That is a great looking airplane and I have worked on and flew on them and this airplane is very large and it can deliver plenty of cargo inside of it. The airplane was around before I entered the Air Force and is still flying and the cream of the crop for carrying both passengers and cargo.

[@TD402dd]

Boeing was behind the moth balling of the C-5 fleet so they could build their C-17 transport. Someone high up in the military finally said they need the C-5 back to fly farther and carry more cargo than any other transport.

[@j.w.m.rhynejr9766]

I've always loved airplanes and I've seen many C-5 Galaxies in my life fly around my home town of Dayton Ohio and watched Countless C-5's take off and land from Wright Patterson Air Force Base on the outskirts of Dayton. (I've even watched Air Force One doing maneuvers there as well) Even so, watching this video was very informative and interesting. Thank you so much for your time talking about my favorite subject.

[@dalewright3667]

When you take a look at the C5 the Made in America takes on a whole different meaning

[@thunderbird1921]

What's really interesting is how the Air Force transports military satellites to either Vandenberg or Cape Canaveral. They're carried in an environment-controlled shipping container rather than just being wrapped like other cargo. It does make sense though because of how fragile or sensitive their components are. There's a video on KZbin of a C-5 moving one in the last year.

In Somalia for some reason er usually spotted the planes before the tower did. These you could spot about a half hour out. I also got to see the Russian ones take off. Once it passed half way on the runway we lost sight on it. We realized that it was going to run out of runway soon.after about thirty seconds finally it appeared and had to be heavy as it was climbing very slowly but it made it.

Flew many a miles and trips in these, as in-flight security, out of Travis AFB. Loved every minute. Lucky enough to have the Lockheed booklet they handed out early on. Many don't know but there were plans drawn up to drop launch ICBM's, while in the air. Travis AFB had the space shuttle support mission, moving the booster rockets from the JPL in San Diego, to the skid strip at The Cape. They had a special C-5 that they gutted the troop compartment out and added another hinge on the rear doors, to open wider. And those rockets took up every square inch. Good times back then. Sure will look forward to seeing the Super Galaxy carry on such a historic job.
