I'm a retired USAF C-130 crew member from the 1970's and 80's. These videos of USAF aircraft put a smile on my face. I can only imagine what the inside of that E-8 looks like. Thank you so much and the shots of the C-17 coming in to land were amazing! Keep up the outstanding work.
@@meadj8 I was airborne comm operations on EC-130E, ABCCC. We directed air war in southeast Asia. All analog .. no idea what digital was in those days.
WOW you have no idea how cool this is! The JSTARS E-8 use to be N527SJ, cargo 707 for Southern Air Transport, I worked on that plane in 88-89!!! Thank you!
Wie bekommt ihr diese perfekte Pan-Verfolgung hin? Egal welche Aufnahme: vom Anfang bis Ende ist das Objekt sooooo präzise und sanft in der Mitte des Feldes... Unfassbar !!! Ich gratuliere !!!
Übrigens, ich verwende die gleiche Kamera die in der Beschreibung erwähnt wird, aber meine Ergebnisse liegen von der Qualität weit tiefer als eure, abgesehen von der Verfolgung. Die Kamera alleine macht nicht den Meister!
Oh boy, you make me crying with the E-8 on approach and the C130 following, what an exceptional sight. You can't image how nostalgic I'm feeling seeing this video. The sound is just incredible exactly what I remember in the 70's. Thank you so much for this lovely video.
Yaaay! Ramstein airbase is my favorite! Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🤝🇩🇪 ♥️❤️ Just saw the description, the E-8 and the F-16 fighting falcons were my favorite! Keep up your awesome work and stay safe! :) 13:12 loved how these two massive giants look together! ;)
The Boeing 707 is music to my ears, and to be quite honest I really watch its climb many times, especially for high pleasure. These catches are like no other, and these recordings of Air Force Bases really really makes my day, besides recording civilian airports. ☺🤗
Every single E8-C out there myself & my Dad worked on to strip it from a 707 and upgrade and modify it into the E8C JSTAR in Lake Charles, LA. To date there is no other platform that was stripped down to the point these were and fully rebuilt to an even better aircraft than the original 707, which says a lot because that 707 airframe is still one of Boeings best next to the 747! At one point during the strip-down you can stand on top of the fuselage and see the concrete below through the airframe. We both started when it was still Grumman and most of the management was from the Grumman F-14 project out of Bethpage, NY and those men & women were some of the best people I’ve worked with to date! Then Northrop came and well I don’t have much to say there..!
I worked C-17s and C-5s at Spangdahlem back from 2008-2010. Miss seeing them come in. Almost certain I did a BPO inspection on that Mississippi jet....
13:10 Seeing the 747 taxiing alongside a parked C-5 can really show how gigantic those planes are. C-5 being a tad lower in height, it makes up for its payload
Last week I heard something like a sonic boom in the Mannheim area and saw some curvy contrails in the sky. Maybe it was one of the F-16s here responsible for that? ;)
Ok, I'm preeeetty sure that the pilots of the C1 from 14:24 - 15:02 saw yall there and decided to show off lmao seriously though, this is awesome! I've loved looking at planes since I was a little kid and now at 15 I'm starting to realize again how awesome these machines truly are. Say, if you had any advice for someone who might want to try plane spotting one day, what would it be?
I ain't gonna bullshit you. Those scenes of the F-16's coming in to land, when it was shot facing the descending planes...when it appears as it was going to land on top of your head!!! That scared the living shit out of me!!🤯🤯😂 I damn thought that that plane was gonna seriously land on my head!!🤣😂 As always, a great presentation by you guys!!✈✈👍👍
What might have been, long before the A380, Lockheed proposed an idea of civilian variant of the C-5 to compete with the B747. Always a treat to see these two behemoths passing each other in mutual respect. @13:06
Gottseidank wieder ein neues Video von euch! 😍 Und wieder habe ich ganz nah bei einem/r von euch gestanden und es nicht gemerkt... Wir waren auch da als die E-8C t&gs machte. Ich finde, dass ihr die Jets klasse erwischt habt, da gibt's aus meiner Sicht nix zu meckern. Mein Favorit ist auch die C-17. Dass die so nah "Rücken zeigen" habe ich noch nicht erlebt👌🏻 Ich werde nicht müde zu erwähnen, wie gut ich eure Kameraführung und das auf mehrere Spots aufgeteilte Filmen finde!!
@@FRAproductions Die F-16 waren definitiv ein Highlight (mal abwarten, vllt sogar DAS Highlight 2021) und irre laut. Ich stand an 2 Tagen am Bahnende, als sie starteten :)
The 172nd (Mississippi) C-17 at 4:50. I was activated during Desert Storm with the 172nd and sent to Frankfurt for a period of time, we had C-141's at the time.
10 out 10, Well done to you and your crew. Thank you for this bloody great load, i loved it. Fly safe everyone. Chook. Have a beer on me should we ever meat
Dyess has C-130 Js now?? I was at Elmendorf AFB when the Super H models were transferred there from Dyess. Got in on the acceptance inspections....that was a bunch of fun.... wonder how many mods there have been done to the Boeing 707 airframe??
Yes correct, Dyess has quite a lot of Super Hercules flying around the globe! Really nice, seems like nice memories! Luckily some 707 have been modified in different Air Forces like Israel, UK, US, Chile, Omega Air Tanker, Iran and a lot of others. Thanks a lot fot the support! We really appreciate it! Have a great weekend!
Thank you guys so much for your support, feedback and simply everything! Happy easter!💚
Happy Easter!
First time I saw your videos I thought they were made with a computer. Now I simply say wow!. They are amazingly shot. Keep it up, great job.

@@billirvin9057 That’s awesome, most of my buddies are techs. I do the surveillance piece in the back. A lot of job satisfaction.
C-130's are beautiful aircrafts to say the least.

Sticking that beast around the pattern, that right turn to finals at 10:45 was just fantastic!!!
The sound of those F-16s! so powerful
Ich wiederhole mich: Deine Spotting-Videos sind die mit Abstand besten hier auf TH-cam. Und klasse, dass du die F16 filmen konntest!
Vielen Dank!! Ja, die F-16 waren wirklich interessant. Danke für das gute Feedback 👍👍

Never seen quality like this before ! This is on another level.

I liked the tribute to Elvis on the winglet on the Memphis AMC C-17...
I miss that place so much it makes my heart hurt. Thank you for this.
Hard to put in to words just how epic this is!
That E-8C is gorgeous!
Thank you! 😤
Guys, drop everything! FRA posted a new one!
Thank You very much! :D

Superb quality filming. I have never seen such precise framing of moving aircraft. And obviously a good vantage point there at Ramstein.
Yeah the framing is amazing

Amazing camera work as usual, best on TH-cam for Aviation.
You made my sunday!
I used to be a fuel cell tech on the J-Stars aircraft. Due to poor leadership I quit but it was awesome to crawl into the fuel cell and do work
Outstanding USAF coverage again, Happy Easter
Amazing footage as always. Happy Easter!
Thanks Charlie! Happy easter and stay safe!
13:10 now that's a cool picture. Not often you get the chance to compare those two side by side.
This video was so many incredible military aircraft that it is difficult to choose which one was the best.👍👍👍
14:46 nice side landing 🛬
Klasse Aufnahmen! Die F16 aus Spangdahlem einige Tage über der Vorderpfalz sehen und vor allem hören 👍😁
13:38 - nice complimentary sound :)
Those F-16 were from Spangdahlem, they'll be home for supper. I was at Spangdahlem 80-82 when we had f-4s.
Love when an aircraft retracts the landing gears. It's like "now I'm fully ready to go".
Love the howl of those engines on the E-8. Reminds me of the "good old days", when 707s were still used in civil aviation.
It ain't So fun when you're inside of them these days though lmao.
13:10 Seeing the 747 taxiing alongside a parked C-5 can really show how gigantic those planes are. C-5 being a tad lower in height, it makes up for its payload
Nice catch on that C-21! You really don't see too many C-21's anymore!
E-8 is a rare sight nowadays
Amazing photography as always. Especially liked the F-16s taking off. And good to see some Charleston-based C-17s.
Wow, the sound quality of your camera is outstanding, as well as the vid quality- thanks!
Some of the best video use/footage I've seen. Great work!
Thanks a lot for your good feedback and supporting our channel 👍👍
You're filming is incredible! I spent time in K-town in 2015 visiting a good friend that is based at Ramstein!
Thanks for your good feedback and supporting our channel 👍👍
Happy Eastern tu All. Thanks for the Video from Ramstein The Best E-8 ..
best video of an E8 ive ever seen , same for C17. definitely your best RMS video .
rare and awesome sights as usual

Another fantastic video. I will be watching this over and over again.
Thanks a lot for your good feedback 👍👍
The Atlas Air 767-300ER at 4:25 was my favorite. I also enjoyed the Atlas Air 747 and who could possibly forget about the F-16?🤩
Wow that C-17 is a big boy to be sure. Good lord that's a screaming metal monster.

Great video as always, i used to work really close to Ramstein, and it brings back great memories of good times.
Thanks Allen for your good feedback and supporting our channel! 👍👍
Awesome video, top quality as always, close ups superb.
Damn those F-16's were fully loaded!
Surprised the wing stayed on.
Stunning video. Such a heaven to see all those beautiful military heavy jets.. 😊
I❤️watching your videos. Brilliant. Much love from Birmingham UK.

fantastic compilation of military aircraf

I was stationed at Ramstien back when it had its own F-16s with the 512FS "Dragons" around 86 to 89.....it's too bad that this base got rid of them
As always just the best on youtube
At 13:11, this is a good shot of the 747 and C-5 being side by side since they're both largest of all aircraft in the world.
Stunning photography. Thank you
Ok, I'm preeeetty sure that the pilots of the C1 from 14:24 - 15:02 saw yall there and decided to show off lmao

I bet that camera is north of 5k . E8's was the money shot.
truly was. so beautiful

Awesome video man...I am enjoying all your videos ❤️...One question is that okay to film military aircrafts?
Thanks a lot for your good feedback and supporting our channel 👍 It's allowed to film the planes but it's not allowed to film the base in detail.
I love F16. What a good system. And nice video for sure
The first C-130 is almost brand new. It was delivered in October 2020.
Amazing, many thanks.
Fantastic footage. Great camera work.
Nice video
Man kann aber vieles erkennen auf der Base? Hammer Videos!
Hey bro,
You should do more fighter jets. Loved the content.
Fantastic quality as usual!
