You ever seen the Russian heavy drop system? Just before touchdown,they have an actual rocket pack just above the load,between the load and the chute attachments,that fires with enough force to actually deflte the chutes! The retro rockets are strong enough to reduce the load on the chutes to almost zero as the load touches down. One of the coolest things I've ever seen!
Bagwell! I know you! We were in the same squadron, 772 TAS! Gimme a call if you're in the SF Bay Area! I'll show you the best of the Bay Area! Richard Park, navigator, 772 TAS. Five-1-xero 5 zero 4 too xero wun wun
MORGAN DOUGLAS ...”JUMPmaster”? Bite your tongue...completely off! Jumpmasters throw army pukes off the plane. A LOADmaster is the Air Force guy watching the grunts jump out of a perfectly good airplane! lol.
Thanks for posting. C-5 was an awesome airdrop machine. They mainly used it to develop the airdrop system for the C-17. Too bad they didn't do more heavy equipment airdrops out of the C-5. I was a C-5 navigator at Dover from 1991-1995 and we would do these type of airdrops frequently to make sure the system would work on the C-17.
USAF just kicks people/things out the door. Most of the work that goes into a heavy drop is done by Army Riggers. AF is responsible for proper loading, and getting the airplane ready to kick things out. Usually, when something goes wrong, they look first at the way the drop was rigged for air drop.
The C-5 set world records for what is could air drop, including an ICBM missile. The did away with this part of it's mission to make this C-17 look better. 🙄🙄
I was surprised to see that object enter the lower left of the screen a 5:05 and cruise across to the right during what was most likely an exercise in highly controlled airspace.
I think it was a bird closer to camera. FAA does not control the flight of birds. I was surprised to see a single parachute among the heavy drop. We were always told that was a no no. Airborne All the Way
@@frankbrown7043 That was likely the drogue chute which pulls out the extraction chutes. It falls away once the extraction chutes come out of the deployment bag. Then the extraction chute falls away with the main deployment bags still attached.
This brought back some memories and saw a couple of familiar faces. The Airborne Board often sent a chase plane up to film the drops, especially on equipment that hadn't been dropped from a C-5 which is what buzzes by. The last part of the video is the tandem link platform drop test where we would test two or three platforms and pieces of equipment linked together. This enabled the Army to drop a truck, a howitzer and an ammo pallet, put them all together on the ground and pull away firing the howitzer within about 7 minutes!
Mike See thanks! 60,000pounds.awesome! i never seen so huge airdrop. JGSDF has "1st Airborne Brigade(Dai-Ichi Kūtei Dan)" is near by my home. its only paratrooper unit in Japan. they dive from "Kawasaki"C-1,C-2 and C-130H.(or helicopters UH-1,CH-47s) i never seen equipment airdrops.
That's a 60k loader!! We never airdrop a 40k or 25k loader, they would not survive the drop. Who packed the parachutes? Been told at Dover AFB, there's no more Aerial Port RED HATS!!! Look like one of the camera planes almost got in way!!!
This was done out of Fort Bragg and Pope AFB in North Carolina by the Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate, or as we commonly refer to it as the Airborne Test Board.
That was one of the camera aircraft assigned to the Test Directorate. Depending on the test mission there might be one to three camera aircraft flying in trail of the drop aircraft. The aircraft you see is diving down to follow the loads while filming.

We are going to get you for treason."ha,ha"
Sounds cool! Can't say I'd be hot to have live pyrotechnics in my cargo bay, though!
What can you say? It was the Soviets.
Truly inspiring! What a sight. The heaviest HE load I ever dropped was 34890 lbs. 😊
All the handling gear involved to make a successful drop, amazing.
Thanks for posting...So many great memories. C5a and then C130 qualified 1974-1985...

Man I'd love to just ride on a C-130
EXCELLENT JOB RIGGERS AND JUMP MASTER

I was a load in the 9th, 94-98.
Did you ever do a MCAD with a C-5? Drop a boat to SEALs?
Riggers lead the way
Mike,very cool video showing what the C-5 can do.Thanks for posting!
Looks like a Riggers nightmare.
This is why we r the badist dog on the porch. $$ well spent & 10 years old..
All I can say is Wow! I'll bet this would be a fun career field in the USAF.

This music is 'almost' the NYPD Blue theme.
Beautiful ✨✨✨✨👌👏 top 💯✨
So awesome!! Airborne All the Way !!!
I did alott of c130 air drops. Did not know a C5 could do the same

It was probably the chase plane, filming the descent of the load.
@@frankbrown7043 That was likely the drogue chute which pulls out the extraction chutes. It falls away once the extraction chutes come out of the deployment bag. Then the extraction chute falls away with the main deployment bags still attached.
It was the chase plane. It is a two-seater aircraft with the back seater taking video for performance analysis post drop.
Ten chutes? Cool vid. Thanks

Imagine the minutiae involved...
Jeffrey Richardson if just one was wrong, they all were wrong🤔😮
Looks expensive!
thanks uploading! comfort BGM for me.
awesome giant heavy airdrop.
so,what is 60K means?
airdroped machine(weapon)'s name?
and,I'm japanese.
60K = 60,000 (pounds)
Mike See
thanks!
60,000pounds.awesome!
i never seen so huge airdrop.
JGSDF has "1st Airborne Brigade(Dai-Ichi Kūtei Dan)" is near by my home.
its only paratrooper unit in Japan.
they dive from "Kawasaki"C-1,C-2 and C-130H.(or helicopters UH-1,CH-47s)
i never seen equipment airdrops.
75 TH MAS OUT OF TRAVIS IN THE 70'S CHECK'N IN!! C5 TURNED OUT TO BE THE REAL DEAL!! GOOD OLD AERIAL PORT.......GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

What do they do with the parachutes afters in combat
We had to put them back in the bag folded behind the reserve
What buzzed by at 4:35??
