I remember talking to a KC-135 boom operator ..he said refueling these beasts were so weird ...they pushed so much air ahead of them it would raise the tail of the tanker up
Me too. I remember really vividly going to an airshow as a kid and looking at the wing root and being amazed that it's responsible for keeping the aircraft in the sky. Since then I was hooked! Thanks for the comment 👍
@@UKAviationMovies Greetings from Tucson, Arizona USA. Before Tucson, I lived in Virginia Beach, 'bout a half mile off the flight path between Oceana and Norfolk Operations Base. During the height of the Iraqi war, the planes would land at Oceana as they came in off the Atlantic, then on their way to Norfolk, often over-flying my house. The voice of a C-5 is singular in the World of aviation and cannot be confused with any other plane.
I was in two minds mate. I very nearly came back to 09 but figured we’d get the same shot so I stayed at the 27 end. Nice to get something different. Look forward to seeing yours 👍
It flew over my town at 6:59 this morning, unfortunately I was asleep at the time. I've been wanting to see a C-5 in person for ages now, hopefully next time I can do it.

The landing gear is a work of art as it retracts
It really is 😎
C-5 Galaxy is incredible... I'm always amazed how an aircraft that big can get off the ground...

Nice to hear BZZ mentioned on departure 👍🇬🇧😀
Great vid! I love the C-5's; I grew up about 5 miles from Lockheed in Marietta, though it just isn't the same without those screaming TF/39 turbofans.
Travis Air Force Base is literally right over my back fence, and I too miss those TF/39's.
We'll see ya.
The pilot put that monster down with skill and grace.
The C-5 is so elegant. I think it’s because it’s so massive :) thanks for the comment 👍

Perfect landing

Very nice coverage from lots of different locations. I see a spare B-1 engine👍
Thanks a lot. I almost missed that engine as I’d stopped shooting :)

I should imagine they’ll use a C-5 at the end of the deployment too 👍👍
Cracking video 👍👍
