Transport aircraft are essential for maintaining supply lines to forward bases, which are difficult to reach via ground or water channels, and can be used for strategic and tactical missions
The sound of the C5 takes be back to Clark AB Philippines 374th FMS 1986 thru 1989 . I worked in A.G.E. The C5 isn't favorite cargo plane .Love the sound of the older C5's.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a C-5 should be able to fly. It's wings are too small to get its fat body off the ground. The C-5, of course, flies anyway, because it doesn't care what humans think is impossible.
Why is a U. S. Air Force plane at Abbotsford Airport in the first place? Does anybody know.? Our airshow isn’t til august. This is just June. Huh?
Just had one of these monsters fly into Selfridge ANGB, amazing to watch him circled over 3 times before he landed
Used to see these often as a kid, however I couldn't appreciate what kind of thrust and lift this gigantasaurus has to just take off, my uncle said, "those c5's are like whales once they're in the air they're good its those landings that are hell, often popping tires on those landings, he would know he used to be on a C5 crew. R.I.P Uncle.
