    My Dad worked on the original C5-A. I have a framed picture in my house of the first flight with the signatures of the test pilots and lead engineers. My Dad was extremely proud of this aircraft. He loved his job at Lockheed Georgia.

      Truly a brilliant aircraft.

    I've read many of the comments below here, and there are so many posts from men that served, and spent time working on this incredible aircraft in service to our nation.
    I'm so impressed with all that you each had done in your daily working lives on these aircrafts. Greatest respect, and sincere thanks to all of you, and all that served and are serving.
    God bless each of you everyday, in every way.

    I worked for an airline - Horizon Air - for a few years in the 1980s at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Kingsley field is a mix of military, commercial and private operations but is primarily an ANG base. It has a colorful background as a military base and utility center and as such, many types of aircraft have passed through, stopping for fuel etc.
    Kingsley Field also has one of the largest runways in the Northwest at over 10,000 ft. long.
    So in about summer 1985, maybe 1986 I don't remember for sure I was out on the ramp one day enjoying the sun and lo & behold in came a C5A Galaxy! After it was parked & shut down & crew disembarked, I cautiously approached and asked if I might be able to get a quick tour of the aircraft. The fellow whom I talked to was very nice and said "Sure thing, right after lunch!". So I went to my ticket counter and then about an hour or so later I got my little quick tour :). Was SO cool!. I got to walk through the whole length of the aircraft, got a quick peek into the cockpit, got to see engines up close, etc.
    The guys were really enjoying their jobs and it showed. A few hours later, the C5A departed. I'll never forget that day.

    During some of my years in the AF, I worked as a hydraulic mechanic on both the C5A and the C141 at Altus AFB in 1970. That C5 was a monster to work on as all the hydraulic components and flight control packs were so large.

    I kinda miss being woke up in the middle of the night and driving to the hangar. Then you hear the C5 land at the airfield. After loading up our Army Blackhawks you climb up the back stairs to sit near the base of the tail.. facing backwards. You can hardly tell when it is taxing and which direction it was turning. Pretty smooth flight too unless you had to do a mid air refueling. It felt like you were barely hanging in the sky with the engines speeding up and slowing down trying to stay in position.

    No mention of the clamp detail.
    30 days in the hole..
    Every rubber electrical harness clamp on every one of the 81 original legacy aircraft needed replaced. The harness clamps were disintegrating due to temperature variations and were causing chaffing on many of the electrical bundles.. Dover AFB was one of the bases with 36 aircraft requiring clamp replacement.
    Each aircraft required approximately 30 days in ISO to accomplish this detail.
    Working 2-3 shifts rotating around the clock..
    Proud to be apart of the detail.
    I was able to travel to every nook & cranny of this ginormous beast.. Including the t-tail ladder & hatch areas
    We had to remove all of the wall panels & throughout the landing gear & smaller mechanics under the floors & compartments..
    What a task using new Teflon & asbestos clamps..1976 & on...

    I was stationed at Dobbins AFB, Ga in 1966-68. We shared runways with the adjoining Lockheed plant where the C-5 was being designed then built. Many days watching the big bird do ground-only checkouts, then on duty the day of first actual takeoff, what a sight, nearly scary. So big, so heavy, would it really fly? Yes, she did. Magnificently.

    I was a flight sim tech in the late 70’s, remember the change from the black F4 tape to the Orange F4 tape ( nato requirement). I remember seeing huge piles of the black tape that they took off the C5, piles taller than I was. Unbelievable just how much F 4 tape is used to wrap connectors on these planes.

    Took my in-laws to Kelly AFB when they visited us when I was in nav training at Randolph. Parked my car under the approach end as 2 C-5 were on final , just next to the VASI lighting. It felt like you'd be crushed like a bug as they slid down the glideslope. They had never experienced that before, so it was great to share with them. Awesome airplane.

  • @stephencruz885

    I attended (the former) Northrop University Institute of Technology Aviation Technician School to get my A&P license. The campus was located directly underneath the approach path to runway 24 of LAX less than half a mile away. All day long large aircraft would be flying a mere couple of hundred feet (or so it seemed) right above us. Occasionally, a C5 would come in to LAX. Whenever that happened, it would set off all the car alarms in the parking lot on campus. Loved the sound of those TF-39s!

    Very nice I was an avionics tech at Dover AFB 67-70. That C-133 at the beginning I worked on. Also many 141s and 124s. When enlistment was up in early 1970 they had me scheduled for C-5 school since Dover was to be receiving them . But I was in way back to University to complete college. Often wondered if I stayed in how the C-5 would be to work on. Those high wings look scary as the 133, and 141 one were especially in bad weather. Thanks for this historical vid. ❤

    I was a C-141A loadmaster in the early 70s . It seems like half of the time I was taking aircraft parts to broken down C-5A that had " challenges" fulfilling the Mission to which it was built for.
    Regardless, after a significant influx of cash and little changes, such as the wing root and engines, 50 years (half century) later, it can complete it's Mission. The C-141A,B and C has come and gone, the fantastic C-17 has been in the inventory for years now.
    C-5M is proof that if you throw enough money into a program, it will work. Eventually. Glad to see it, honestly, fantastic, as it should have been from the beginning

    I was an inspector and a prototype mechanic on the first 13 of the C-17 and I believe the cargo area is bigger, width and probably height, though not as long as the C-5 and can handle more payload. The C-5 is cool though. I like them all from the C-130 on.

    I'm surprised there was no mention of the engine upgrade with the C-5M. Originally called RERP, it was merged into the C-5 AMP program. It's a VERY significant upgrade to the C-5 because along with it came upgrades in the electrical, hydraulic, and environmental control systems and the associated reliability, performance, and operating cost improvements.

After Dover I was stationed At Myrtle Beach AFB, with the A-10. In 5 years of active duty, I service in SAC, MAC and TAC units. I later served in the active reserves at Travis AFB where we had both C-141s and C-5s. All great experiences.

    The TF-33 did not drive ANY civilian development, it was quite the other way around. Pratt & Whitney designed the JT-9D, but the engine had poor aerodynamics and fuel control unit issues that resulted in engine deformation and uncommanded shutdown in flight. Pratt was unwilling and unable to properly diagnose and repair these issues on their own. Boeing operations (Manufacturing) in Everett Washington during the 747 certification program turned their attention to the motor. After dissembling one and running some computational scenarios, they discovered the stators were insufficiently reinforced and needed stiffening. Boeing’s discovery is what saved the JT-8D/TF-33 engine.

    Maybe little known fact: Standard procedure to use (i.e., deploy) inboard thrust reversers in-flight. Usually to slow decent...C-5A/B/C...Not sure about the M-Series; never flew them. We usually gave the Loadmasters in the Pax compartment a heads up first because it would vibrate so strongly in the tail.

    I've got two. A pink one and a yellow one. Just a bugger when I get a flat tire.

    In the spirit of the AC-130, C-5 as a UAV (or manned aircraft) swarm "mother-ship". with a 41,000ft. ceiling, quite the standoff behemoth.

    Good details on the C-5, but nothing showing "A Day in Life of USAF Pilots"⁉Also lots of talk about avionics, yet didn't show initial or later differences in avionics❌ Good views of maintenance being done and of aircraft in flight. No "intricate details" of design or development. B- for this vid.

    How did that C-17 sneak in the video at 14:43? 😂

      Crew quarters - bathroom, beds, galley.
