I was stationed at Dover for 3.5 years. I loaded those monsters every day. I miss being out on the flightline. The air force is a great branch to serve in. I always regret leaving
I was lucky to see the C-5 at Thule Air Base, Greenland in 2000. Delivering 2 mobile cranes from Dover. We were not alowed to go to see it land. But everybody did. The whole of Thule Air Base was there to see it land. I never forget that sight.
I live near Dover AFB and see these planes all the time, it's amazing how big they are and see like they should not be able to get air borne they are neat to watch
It's wingspan is the entire width of a US Aircraft Carrier's flight deck, and 1/4 the length. That other jets land on. Almost a football field. The scale of something like that getting up into the air is bonkers. I remember someone at the museum marveling at the size of a B-29, not noticing the C-5 outside because it was like part of the skyline. It doesn't carve through the air. It bullies the air into getting out of it's way.
Great job guys ! It's pilot's like you that make America great and safe. Hope these guys did basic training at lackland . That's whare my dad staff sgt. James Memphis Evans did his training. All the best to you guys!

Loved the sound of the older engines used on the C-5
I spent 6 1/2 years flying the C-5's little brother- the C-141. The scale if the C-5 is nearly double that of the C-141, but the cockpits are remarkably similar. The C-5 center windshield is a few inches wider but the rest of the windows, throttle quadrants, nosewheel tiller, etc, are essentially identical. A few times a month as an instructor I'd do an LPS- local proficiency sortie. LPSs were challenging and rewarding. You had 4 or 5 pilots each with their training requirements- 3 engine approach/landing/go-around, visual approach, non-precision approach, no-flap landing and so on. Managing the sequence and seat swaps made it a busy 4 hours. It was an honest day's work. I do miss it.
They’re the most beautiful aircraft! I’d love to see one in person - I live a hundred miles from the closest airport and the biggest aircraft there are those piddly wee A320s. I live in the Scottish highlands and far from any bases that have these gorgeous big beasties.
I used to visit Rehoboth Beach every weekend to would stop at the end of the runway at Dover AFB and watch them land all the time. I often wonder what Orval and Wilbur would think about these HUGE MONSTERS !!!!!!!!
It would be specified in the FM and/or the MDS specific Vol 3 on what the required calls would be. KC-10 our calls are actually "Set Takeoff Power, 80kts, Power Set, V1, Rotate, V2, Positive rates, gear up" All laid out in the FM.
Dustin Walden , You noticed That to I see..!! ✅ I have been into Dover before when I flew the B 747’s doing MAC charters. We do , 80 Kts, V1, Rotate, Positive Rate, Gear Up ... 🛫✈️🛬👍😎
“Go” is the lowest of rotate speed, refusal speed, or max braking speed. In this case, it was rotate. Not V1, which is minimum ground control speed. If “go” is not rotate, then “rotate” will actually be called at rotate speed
Avionul zboara prin aer si trebuie ca zborul sa fie coerent si silentios , dar asta se balangane de parca ar merge pe aratura ,,,,,,, o fi aratura uscata si nediscuita prin aer probabil !.....
Could this guy fly an f 16? Or would he be totally lost? Or vice versa with a fighter pilot ? . ive wondered for 30 + years wtf this is like and if its hard to do
There completely different I think a fighter pilot flying a heavy or a heavy pilot flying a fighter would be able to land it but not good at all and there would be alot of alarms going off even with a airbus pilot flying a boeing for the first time it would be very difficult.
Rode several across the Atlantic Space A (Retired Army). One trip from Norfolk to Frankfurt had choice of C5 or C130 leaving about the same time. I chose C130 because I was familiar with C5 maintenance problems. Trip took three days and still beat the C5. Nice ride but never know where I might be stranded.
That's the whole point - quiet, much more fuel-efficient, less polluting, longer range or more carrying capacity, saving money - win win win win for the military.
@@CharlieBrown-fy3zy Have yet to see a mission update via ipad, they're required to be on airplane mode except for use with an ADS-B receiver such as a Stratus 1S, and they don't have 4g. Any mission updates would come from either being proactive and using your radios to call command post, using the Satcom, or over ACARS (if equipped)

Dover afb POL 1976-78, agree
Same, 86 to 90!!
The whine if those turbines is music to my ears. Great video.
Considering that DAFB is 5-10 miles from my house, this is super cool to watch
I see these amazing planes almost daily here in San Antonio Texas; every time I see one is just amazing!!
Yeah I see them doing flyovers at Lackland. That and the F16s
This plane reaches v1 so quick! Amazing!

This plane always amazes me. Looks physically incapable of even getting in the air and it does it with ease.
Silas Leeks
Well it wasn’t filled with cargo, which can be up to a quarter million pounds
Kommander K even when they are filled though I mean they are an engineering marvel.
What blows me away is that the Wright brother's first flight was shorter in length than this plane! Just 67 years a part too!
Look at the straight vertical takeoff video it's empty of course.

one of these flew over my house the other day. loud is an understatement.

very competent young men flying that huge machine
Looks like they left Dover, DE and went all the way over to ACY (Atlantic City, NJ) for some pattern work.
Love the glass pit upgrade.
3:40 “50, 40, 30, 20,10” it’s amazing that the cockpit is so high off the ground that it actually looks much higher than 50ft to the runway.
Nothing says Air Force money like doing a touch and go in a C-5...several times. Watching E-4s doing pattern work also made me crack up!
These planes and crew transport so much throughout their lifetime.

Nice. Get to see these, 10's and 17's from Travis all the time where I'm at.
I got to walk inside of these things at an air show and yeah, these things are massive
Right? It's like a flying aircraft hangar.
Even though I hate the new quiet engines, compared to the awesome old TF-39s, these new engines do seen to get it airborne pretty fast...
They’re the most beautiful aircraft! I’d love to see one in person - I live a hundred miles from the closest airport and the biggest aircraft there are those piddly wee A320s. I live in the Scottish highlands and far from any bases that have these gorgeous big beasties.
Skills, pure skill!
I live on the Maryland Eastern Shore and sometimes these big guys from Dover fly over my house. You definitely know when they're coming.

Love the picture quality 👍
It's amazing how fast something that large and heavy gets to it's appropriate rotation speed !!! That's wild !!!!
i saw the first one land at Scott AFB when i was in high school in Ill. guessing 68-69 or so. was impressive
I don't miss doing crash and dash in this airplane one bit! Was a lot of work for the Engineer with pre flight, data,checklists the form F ETC.....
Commercial pilot: rotate. AF pilot: go
"Go" is actually the equivalent of V1. AF doesn't usually call rotate.
It would be specified in the FM and/or the MDS specific Vol 3 on what the required calls would be.
KC-10 our calls are actually "Set Takeoff Power, 80kts, Power Set, V1, Rotate, V2, Positive rates, gear up" All laid out in the FM.

One of these flew in to my local airport today it was huge.
love flying on this jet, especially with no pax, get a nice big sleep the whole trip
That looked like fun!!
So young. I remember those days but CH-46 .
i finally saw the stirring that turns the front landing gear
Well played for 500k subscribers.
Look at that wing tip flex.🤓😳
Wow touch and go at KACY Atlantic City international Airport. My home airport.
Great video, Aim High!
Those CF6-80 C2 Engines .....A-maxing !!,
So cool. I missed my calling.
I flew a c17 I kinda wana get a cool spaceship I found this one Lockheed Martin bird I liked might try getting it that size
3:36 C-5 Galaxy Butter Landing
Why was the altitude warning going off before touchdown?
Looks live dover
I’m 12 and looking this up.... guess I’m going to be a pilot then
Is this dover afb? Looks familiar
That acceleration is marvelous :D what was the rotaiton speed? Anyone know?
depends on the fuel and cargo load, most of the time ive seen it around 115-140, sometimes higher if we have close to max t/o weight
Flying around like their in a Piper Cub.
Took fire engines too the south pole, secret base., first c5.
Amazing video and super close to 500k subscribers ( I’m one of them)
Hermoso cabina 🇱🇷🇺🇾
I flew a lot of milk runs from Dover down the east coast.
A big old bird, the C-5!
Used to always bug me looking at the wings flop around on the c5.
You should have watched the tail back when we had sextents. It was a part of the co-pilot orientation.
Is anyone else surprised that the avionics upgrade didn't eliminate the Flight Engineer's role?

Does anyone know why there are duplicated thrust levers?
Thrust reverse
2:32 ... "Ok, who shrank the runway!?!?"
Geeeeeear UP
18 second takeoff roll???
Had to be empty
1....like.. Thanks for sharing 😅😅😅
Sitting high up like in a Range Rover.
Thank you for your service...
2:48ボーイングと同じだな
Fantástico
that's kind of a big plane.
Rode several across the Atlantic Space A (Retired Army). One trip from Norfolk to Frankfurt had choice of C5 or C130 leaving about the same time. I chose C130 because I was familiar with C5 maintenance problems. Trip took three days and still beat the C5. Nice ride but never know where I might be stranded.
The sound of freedom.
The guy sounds like Miles Teller 😂😂
It's still an awesome aircraft however without the TF39 turbofans they feel and seem like anything else in the sky
That's the whole point - quiet, much more fuel-efficient, less polluting, longer range or more carrying capacity, saving money - win win win win for the military.
Well done gents
Geeearr UP
It sucks I can't see nothing
I have to wonder what kind of design the Russians would have come up with for a large transport aircraft if they did not have the C-5 to copy.
Check out the Lun-class ekranoplan
00:34
FRED!
SWEEEEEET!
using the iPad in cockpit？
Yep that's really common these days, instead of carrying a lot of manuals you can store all of that on an iPad now.
they can send a mission update if needed because so many people could be on the radio channel and it would be harder to listen

That's exactly how I do it on my Rortos simulator 👍😂.
