Not every air show can be a blue angel or thunderbird show. We are spoiled rotten when we have a complaint when we recieve a blessing of anything otherwise . Awesome show and a great video.
No matter how many times I’ve seen it, I’m always amazed at how fast the C-5 is able to get airborne, its climb rate and then its landing distance. An amazing aircraft which no other aircraft in US inventory can replicate or replace. We need to build newer bigger versions of the C-5. The C-17 is really cool in as well and is nothing more than a modern overgrown C-130 with turbofan engines. The C-130 is an amazing aircraft with a very long and proven service history. If I had to choose between watching an F-35 demo and an F-16 demo I’d choose the F-16 any day of the week. They seem to be much more agile every time I’ve seen them and most likely have the ability to turn inside the F-35. In a true visual range dogfight I’d give it to the F-16 as well. If I had to choose any of them it would be the P-51, P-38, F-4 because those pilots are actually flying those aircraft.
@@psbergeron03 while they still can be unfortunately they don’t produce JATO anymore. I find it kind of dumb because it allowed them the C-130’s do so much more.
The Airshow C5s are pumped full of helium, up to about 15psi. It makes the plane almost completely weightless. If you have a scanner tuned to the working frequency, you can hear the crews Smurf like voices as they communicate with helium filled lungs. Hilarious!
It’s been a while, but every once in a while if you’re lucky, one of those huge planes will come in for a landing and fly right over your car as you’re driving down route 1. It looks like the plane is going to land on you.
Boeing attempted a cargo plane competition in the 70s with the twin engine YC-14 up against the Douglas Aircraft YC-15. Douglas won, but many updates and the C-17 is on, late 1980s at Douglas Aircraft Long Beach, California. Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas in the late 90s. Douglas made both cargo birds for Dover when I was there, the C-133 & the C-124. The C-124 seemed to hover with its size & speed. The C-5 replaced the C-133, C-141 replaced the C-124. The C-17 was meant to replace the C-141s & C-130s. I first was assigned to the C-17 late 1988 bldg #1 at Douglas.
I live less than 3 miles from Westover AFRB home of the 439th airlift wing we did have 16 C5 galaxy planes but now down to 8 back in the day 50s 60s 70s Westover was a Sac base loaded with B52s even had a few U2s in their as well as I was told nuclear weapons Westover was a very busy place during the Vietnam and cold wars when they fly in and out I could almost toss a rock and hit them these days things are better with those C5s as they have been repower with quieter engines less than 4 miles the other direction is Barnes AFB home of the 104th fighter wing with the F15E strike eagles soon to be the F35s somedays things get very loud here.
You forget that the C5 is a cargo plane with a rear ramp. Were there an immediate need and no bombers were on scene, it would be no problem to load a few bomb-laden pallets and become a non-precision bomber.
@@TheGospelQuartetParadise When did I ever say that? If the U.S. ever built a bomb larger equal to or larger than Tsar it was kept classified. If they didn’t nits definitely not because they couldn’t but because they determined there was no need. BTW, the Tsar Bomba was definitely a Thermonuclear Bomb. Do a bit of research and watch the video of its detonation. The MOAB and FOAB are actually conventional non-nuclear bombs and is a nickname that both carry.
@@P-J-W-777 The reason I said that is because way back there was an undercover denial that the Tsar Bomba was nuclear though all the evidence pointed otherwise. The U.S. has the capability to make the KOAB [King of all bombs], and I wouldn't be so sure they aren't already in development, considering the capabilities of Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea.
@@robertbraun7155 Well if they don't start doing something to enhance the safety in the skies [stuff falling off planes] and on runways [repeated runway incursions] there won't be any passengers to scare.
I was at this air show in Dover and thought it was one of the better shows I’ve been to, everyone was nice and helpful,had a great time
Excellent footage thank you very much

Worked ARShop flight controls at C5 Depot on C5 A,B&C's replaced almost every flight controls cable on every one of them...love the aircraft
I remember going to these, grew up through the 80's on dafb, such good memories! Got to watch from the tower one year!
Those 80s airshows excited me to join the USAF, but I never got near airplanes -- what an air farce that was! 😂
We have 2 C5 pilots in the family we love seeing these beautiful machines in motion.

C130's can be equipt with jet propulsion for quick takeoff it's really cool.

Yeah especially an empty one.........Genius. 🤪
I have seen F-22 Raptor at Sanford Airshow
Nothing compares to it

That's the point of it

Lol what's the point of it?
I'm in the pattern living in West Chester...
Thank you for sharing!

bombs away, Pablo!
LoL yeah definitely a shocking experience
LoL yeah definitely a shocking experience
how did you get so close to the flight line?
Funny how the mustang guy completely ignores the Lamborghini guy
Lambo is a sugar daddy, the mustang owner beats his wife
AIRBORN RANGER by MARK FARNER would be a great song for this event
They were awesome wean they were here in billings Montana
Cool this was at Dover Delaware
Don't forget the C5 was empty for the purpose of demonstration at an airshow.
Whats cooler than a jet truck?

Ahh someone totally blew the timing for the faux napalm run. Jet 1st than boom not boom than jet. 😑😆
Have not been to an airshow in long time
Nothing wrong showing aircraft that is 30-40 years old. And even 20-25 years old like f35,f22.
C-17 XOXOX
Why are they using pyrotechnics with the c-5 galaxy as it's not a bomber?
You forget that the C5 is a cargo plane with a rear ramp. Were there an immediate need and no bombers were on scene, it would be no problem to load a few bomb-laden pallets and become a non-precision bomber.
The C-5 has carried and dropped the MOAB!
@@P-J-W-777 So you're saying that the U.S. now has a bomb more powerful than the Tsar Bomba which was the most powerful Non-Nuclear device ever?

From touchdown to a full stop in 10 seconds. Why don't airliners have those types of brakes?
Because they don't want to scare the shit out of the passengers!!! Repeat customers are kind of important in the airline industry.
Guv’ment paying for the brakes😂airlines running business.
@@robertbraun7155 Well if they don't start doing something to enhance the safety in the skies [stuff falling off planes] and on runways [repeated runway incursions] there won't be any passengers to scare.
They are moving over a 1000 mph.
No way. You would have heard a sonic boom.
