Screaming Engines ! Super Heavy US C-5 Galaxy Take off at Full Throttle

[@roadrider04]

I was stationed at Travis AFB in 1980. Loaded a many C-5’s, C-141’s, C-130’s, 747’S, DC8’S, etc. The C-5 has the smoothest ride when going tdy. Retired years back. Still love that C-5 engine sound.

[@Spindrift-id1ez]

Pleasure to meat another 605. I assume you were with the 60th APS? I wore the Deeds Not Words patch myself from 1983-1992. Ramp Services, ATOC, Load Planning, then PAX when they combined Air Cargo and Air Pax into Air Transportation... Boy I miss those days sometimes

[@marcweeks9178]

I was in USAF for 8 years and was stationed at Travis AFB for the last 4 of them; in the subsequent 35.5 years I lived in Fairfield, CA. Over those nearly 40 years, I grew quite used to--but never tired of--these behemoths flying overhead. I've moved since to the Pacific Northwest, so I only occasionally see its smaller cousin, the C-17, these days. My son wanted to be a loadmaster on a C-5, but he would've had to wait quite a while for a position to open. Instead, he is now an avionics technician for F-15Es in North Carolina.

[@jasontengan4554]

I was at 60 OMS myself in the mid 80s!

[@Rhaspun]

I remember during the preparation for the first Iraq war. I would see the these C-5s taking off from Travis and they were obviously loaded with a lot of weight. As the take off was rather low and much longer than I was used to seeing. I was out fishing at various times out in the Delta and I would see them taking off. The engine noise was also louder.

[@uriahstivers8125]

I grew up on Travis. My dad worked on the KC10s, but the C5s stood out the most by far. It's a shame they replaced the TF39s. The C5s were unparalleled when those were roaring in the sky. I understand completely why they were replaced though. Nowadays they just sound like a 747

[@Flars-rd5ob]

My son and I always enjoyed watching the US C-5 Galaxy fly over our home each month. It was always one of those "drop everything" moments when we would run to our back yard and listen to the huge engines whine and see it descending to its destination. We did not know which base it came from or which one it was heading to. The overflights were discontinued a few years ago. 😥

Always loved that sound.

The C-5A's "noisy"? That's the best sounding big jet EVER!

The best thing about Fat Albert is it sounds like 4 Warthogs taking off at the same time.,. 😂

These are still a slick looking plane considering it the design is nearly 60 years old.

Mid 1960s design.

Incredible video!! Absolutely loved it!! Great quality and information!!! New fan and subscriber!!

[@stebstebanesier6205]

I live about 5 miles from Travis AFB, I sure do miss the sound of those TF-39's.

[@slayer6936]

I got to fly on one of these and c17s to and from Afghanistan and Iraq and what a great flight!! I only flew on one charter and all the rest on these with my teams equipment!! Threw out my bed roll my computer and snakes it was better then first class!! One was on a med flight when I was injured in Iraq and it was filled with a bunch of us!! But I also got to fly all over on a C130 witch was a treat!!

Great Video…I saw a Westover C-5M (patriot wing) Chicopee Massachusetts in the video…I live in South Hadley Massachusetts….where I live as soon as a C-5M takes off, it’s wheels are just coming up as it flies over my house…(about a mile from end of runway 15…)

[@scoobydubedoo]

The 439th AW now operates ONLY eight C-5M's. The other 8 "birds" were transferred/reassigned to Kelly AFB, TX, after modernization from the "B" models...

[@Mr.SugarFoot]

[@georgeturner301]

They should have saved one the C-5A's, because of their GE TF-39 engine for airshows because the unique sound those engines make. I realize the new engines are a MAJOR upgrade. Much quieter and more powerful.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I don't think they're going to save anything just because it sounds cool. Has to be more reason than that! lol

[@jims6450]

@@valuedhumanoid6574 Dude. How about this then; The epic smoke trails they left behind were so much better to watch than any "rollin coal truck" display brings to the party now adays. Literally blows them all away!! hahaha The downside was it also made them "easy to spot low-flying targets" in Vietnam.

[@barryklinedinst6233]

There is one at Dover Afb at the museum that has original engines. It's on display but I'm sure could still fly with maintenance. But I think that's the last one except what are in the boneyard. That's sad that they are out there . I was stationed at Dover and love that old bird. That plane in the video is not one with new engines

Our whole battalion fit onto one of these big beasts when we flew to Europe. It takes almost as long to taxi to the end of the runway as it does to fly to Europe. Plus free baloney sandwiches and juice boxes thanks to Uncle Sam's Misguided Children.

[@terrywoolard7505]

I have flown in both the C-5, and the C-141. Even helped load the C-5. The seating on the C-5 is much more comfortable. I have also seen more UNREFS and UNREPS, than I care too. On one UNREP, the supply ship lost sterrage (sp?) and a collision occured. Was frightening, as my workspace was above the refueling station. Fortunately, there was no fire.

[@AusNetFan13]

Why was other sea/land vehicles displayed in this video? Has nothing to do with the C-5 series aircraft. Please keep on topic.
