TRUMP UK VISIT: 2 US Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy's AWESOME Landings & Takeoffs (Prestwick Airport)

[@phillippeterman1051]

I was a flight engineer for 23 years with over 7,300 hours on these planes. I've been retired for 18 years now and I still miss it everyday. I thank the person who filmed this operation and put it out here so old guys like me can relive our past.

Wow, thankyou for sharing your story. I can imagine you miss them a lot. They are brilliant machines. I filmed all of this and I appreciate your kind words. Thankyou 😃

If you don't mind me asking Phillip, where were you stationed? I spent a brief period of time at Altus AFB in Oklahoma and saw a lot of the Galaxy. Amazing plane.

Its really amazing how such a huge plane can make a short field take off. It did it so gracefully. What a machine!!!

[@2259r3z]

Little or no load for any aircraft equals a much shorter takeoff. There are C-5 videos on YT that show the other extreme - heavy load, engine runup while standing on the brakes, straining engines, slow acceleration, and a lonnnng takeoff roll, like this one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4HWpaxurqiYrcU&ab_channel=dasspr

Looked like they rotated in about 4 plane lengths! Great job! They were nearly back up in the clouds before they crossed the boundary fence. I'll take that performance boost of the M over the trademark whine of the As and Bs. They used to upgrade these at the plant near my house so I got to see C5s flying fairly regularly. Same plant that built the F22 so I got to see them all fly before getting painted as well.

[@phillippeterman1051]

I loved the whine of the TF-39s and I miss it even today.

[@mhamma6560]

C5 A/Bs are one of a handful of aircraft you can identify unquestionably by sound before you see it. V22 and CH53s fall in that category. Just like the CH46/47 twin rotors. Very distinct sounds.

[@Mraviationguy]

Who are these pilots? Those landings were perfect. Better than any F-15 landings on youtube. I was once on a passenger plane with landings like these 2, and the whole cabin broke out in spontaneous applause. There are pilots, and then there are PILOTS.

Arguably some of the best footage I've ever seen!

Thankyou so much Craig! 😀🙌🏽

@@Mraviationguy not a problem! I grew up in Prestwick and, I spent about 3 years watching C5b's at Prestwick from about 1998. I know a good shot when I see one! Keep it up, Fantastic footage!

@@craighodge9094 Oh cool! Thanks again.

A couple of exceptional and rare shots: 9:30 The plane is squatting to lower the cargo deck. 13:30 A good shot of the rear wheel steering.

Thankyou very much, glad you liked the shots. Cheers!

These big birds were landed by sheer professionals, the airport at Prestwick is now full of C5's ...good work pilots.

Crew chief on these in the late 70's. Loved the job! Miss the commaradary. Balls 8 was my tail #. Galaxy was an A model....back then. Great plane...great times. Thanks!

Just a glimpse into what goes on behind the scenes when America's Commander in Chief visits anywhere in the world. Awesome, absolutely awesome - AND - EXPENSIVE! Need to mention these are only a part of the logistical aircraft and equipment required. What we're not seeing is the coordination required between the US and UK to provide the pre arrival, on the ground and departures security and logistical efforts for these visits. Awesome work from every person involved.

Wow! What an amazing bird! Beautiful! I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I saw that Ryanair plane pull out in front of that C5.lol if a plane could crap itself, that one did! Lol

[@CarlosFernandez-no2sb]
