I once saw this beautiful plane at a local airshow and went inside. It's as nimble as a fighter jet and can take off straight up. It also moves in reverse and can back into a parking space like a car.

[@Wiggy74]

It’s crazy how relatively quiet it is! I remember hearing C-141’s take off back in the day and they were BEYOND loud!!

I had the ride of my life on a C-5. Amazing how much cargo she holds

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

My final flight home (1976) after being stationed in the ARMY in Germany (3 years) as a UH-1 Huey Mechanic and Assistant Crew Chief was on a C-141 Starlifter. I know Hydraulic fluid when I see it, and I saw it running down the inside fuselage wall near where I was sitting. I pointed it out to the one of the flight crew as he walked by and he said for me not to worry. They have plenty more on board if it's needed. Ya, that made me feel good.

[@flyingphotography5770]

MatthewPettyST1300 Yeah, kinda like carrying coolant and oil in the car should you need it. Sometimes, life is like that. You obviously got home safely.

[@wendell6468]

I remember outprocessing from Kelly AFB,TX a few days after loading a belly full of 30mm ammo in a C-5, going to the desert as part of Desert Shield. That thing had to use almost the entire runway take off. I watched in amazement as that behemoth took off. Then, while i was watching the lift off, the front, left nose gear tire came off n bounced down the runway!! I kid you not!! I ran down to OPS and they already knew about it. They had to let it continue the take off. They came back around in about 20 minutes doing a low n slow flyby so everyone could see it n determine what to do. They decided to go out over the Gulf of Mexico n dump some fuel. About two hours later, it came back in for a landing. The pilot rode that thing with the nose gear up off the runway for just about the entire length of the runway. He gently let it down and was able to exit the runway with no other damage. One of the most amazing things I'd ever seen. Id hate to be the guy/gal who signed off that the wheels were securely fastened...
