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

Two US Air Force (USAF) C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft arrived at Prestwick on the 11th July 2018 to drop off personnel, vehicles and equipment in preparation for Donald Trump's visit to Scotland on the 13th July. This video shows both of the C-5M Galaxy's that visited Glasgow Prestwick Airport that day landing, taxying to the apron, unloading and later departing. Look at how quickly they get off the ground on takeoff too! They were heading for RAF Lakenheath, UK and Ramstein Air Base, Germany respectively.

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.

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

[@RMBB4202]

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

Fantastic takeoff! The USAF C-5M achieves a top-takeoff speed really fast like a Porsche Taycan Turbo S. Its thrilling!

[@rickkimball6125]

That takeoff roll! Who knew a C5 was a STOL aircraft. Incredible. Thanks for posting this vid.

[@richardchouinard9382]

I lived on Travis AFB military airlift command base , we used to sit out by the flight line and watch the c-5 Galaxys touch and go's 👍

[@Marimilitarybrat]

Richard Chouinard, It's difficult to imagine this behemoth doing touch and goes. Amazing. The flying whale.

I like the gorilla tape over the cockpit to hold it together!

That plane is a Fat Basterd in more ways than one.

Lol!

The pilot of the 2nd plane is a bad dude! Handles that plane like a car.

Amazing aircrafts, crews with great skills.

Great photography! I got to tour the first C5A at Dobbins AFB around 66 or so. Even bigger when you're a little guy.

These C5 showing the Ryan Air the definition of a smooth landing

I had the opportunity to fly in one of these giants of the sky when I was with the Hawaii Air National Guard. From Nellis AFB to Hickam AFB Honolulu. What a ride it was. Aloha! 154th Camron, weapons shop. Sgt C. Letreta.

I know both of those tail numbers. Worked on C-5 A, B and M for 16 yrs at Robins AFB Depot. Strip and Build-up Crew.

[@Zooboo1]

I remember seeing the C5As landing at Newburgh in the 60s. The sound of those engines were very distinct. Do the newer C5s still have the same sound?

[@kennethanderson8880]

Zooboo Blotsky It's a different sound now. M model C-5 have new GE engines.

[@pgigi4773]

Those two planes are massive!! Beautiful landings and take off. Thanks for sharing. 👊

[@terryherrera5252]

About the guy outside on top near the front while taxiing in... The C-5 flight crew consists of 2 pilots, 2 flight engineers, and two loadmasters. On longer flights such as this one across the pond, we carried augmented crews. One crew could rest/sleep while the other flew the plane. As flight engineers, there is one sitting at the panel and the other is the scanner who does hourly walkarounds in flight and does the outside preflight inspection. When arriving at unfamiliar airfields the 2nd engineer (scanner) pops out of the hatch aft of the flight deck and helps out the AC (aircraft commander) who has the tiller (nose wheel steering) on his left side. I was a C-5 flight engineer from '96-2000 and got to be that guy looking around up top many times. I flew missions like this one supporting President Clinton in the late '90s and we carried his limousines and Marine One - his helicopter, as well as the secret service. When I flew it was the C-5A/B/C Galaxy with the GE TF-39 engines with that very familiar whine - a sound I loved and will miss. It was such a great job! I record music now so please visit my channel and even subscribe - tell me you came from this page. :-) Mraviationguy thanks for sharing this! The C-5 will always be a huge part of my life.

As big and as beautiful as these birds are the pilots have them turning on a dime and landing smoother and softer than passager jets! Cudos to the pilots and crew for a job well done.

I got the chills watching those birds take off and land! ❤️ love my country.

Hi, Mraviationguy, thanks for the great video. It is excellent & informative! Bravo!✌✌

Hi! Thankyou very much for the comment! 😀

[@glennboche7344]

My one and only ride on one of these was in March of 1970 when I was medivac'd back to the USA from Vietnam to Camp Zama and then Wright Patterson AFB. Awesome plain period.

[@coldfoot99]

Great footage, thanks. Got to see these many times while stationed at Elmendorf AFB Alaska back in the 70's. Got a few walk through opportunities on open house weekends, massive inside.

Awesome aircraft. Touring the interior was amazing. You can still hear that whine.

[@Mraviationguy]

Thankyou very much 😁 I am so jealous, I would love to go inside one of these!

[@lucky4724]

Jean Stern yes, while stationed at ramstein ab, when both ends of the bird were open, myself and other airmen used to play football inside !!!! and what many people Don't know, the front of the aircraft would kneel down so cargo could be loaded and off-loaded much easier! !!!!

Loved to watch these big girls doing touch and goes in Charleston SC. Amazing! Great safety record. Awesome airplane. "I know! Let's put wings on a football field! We will call it the 5th down!"
