The C-5 is so massive that if you saw one flying, you would think it was going to fall out of the sky! It also has its unique look because of anhedral wings. But the C-5 fleet had its fair share of problems, and it's #NotWhatYouThink

is this c5 galaxy biggest plane in world? probably not anymore)
Imagine landing and the ground crew goes; "Yup, your wings are cracked." 😳
Did I just hear a plane could be “too stable”?
That plane can poomp the mooskles
It was what I thought
Earlier in the C-5 initial development program, after Lockheed won the contract. AF determined that the wing structure was too heavy and had Lockheed performed a weight reduction study which removed "excessive" weight before starting the production run. Later on after in service wing crack issues discovered, the AF asked Lockheed to perform a wing enhancement program to extend the serviceability of the aircraft. Lockheed complied and put back those design which was removed at AF's request at the earlier time. The moral of the story: You've got what you'd paid for, twice at different time!
Just the fact that humans can create something like this amazing.
Even planes are flexing in the military. Damn.
C-5B is a monster of an Aircraft!
C-5 is very intimidating in person
Our taxes were spent stupidly that way with Lockheed!!! Well done, stupid governance! Burnt billion of taxes in it!!!
Sorry but hes copying antonov
Antonov an 225 :hold my vodka comrade
I've been inside the cargo bay of one, its massive
My dream is to be on a flight in one of those planes
I love airplanes ✈️
Круто пасадка
Hmm, didn't want lie to me anymore, huh. Oh just decide it's the best everyone should ever know. Look you gotta retrofit the C5 so it will make it incredibly space (outer space worthy, it's nothing but a metal enclosure, can be made airtight. Yes the C5 orbital achieving aircraft named "Worthy" picks up it's boosters, fuel isn't the only thing that can be picked up while flying. You will make orbit. Those C5s are going to be pretty handy. Along with Boeing and Lockheed Martins jumbo Jets. Oh, I thought you said you wanted to save the world or you'd be pretty good with some jumbo Jets and fighters. Pardon me please. If I can think of it, they did too. You heard it here first and is now a new invention the jato assist orbit.
It is what I think
Everytime I watch one of these shorts, I realize it's not what I think
Pff it can't even carry the maus😂
It's not that it would have been too stable and not have enough roll maneuverability, I'm not exactly sure why you need to roll a giant plane like that but maybe to avoid being shot out of the air.
I wonder why they were spraying the plane down there in that part of that one video. It didn't look like they were deicing it and were they cooling it off for whatever or washing it?
Y it gotta flex on me like that
Of course it’s American
Goes to prove, you don’t throw things away!
Mmmm aircraft carrying aircraft.
I love this channel
Should do the globemaster next if you haven't. One of the few aircraft that can go reverse on the ground allowing it to land on shorter runways. My county airport can have them land where normally large jets can not.
130 ABOVE!!!😂
That military budget
China: Write that down!
These things used to have a unique sound very loud. Now you can’t hear them as much.
SO THIS IS HOW GTA GOT THEIR INSPIRATION FOR THE CARGO PLANE
this plane can carry an helicopter but i cant bring a water bottle on flight
I seen one take off at a air show back in the day. "El Toro AFB The engine's litterly left a trail of fire on the run way
We're all thinking it, I'm just saying. The c-5 is an American an-124.
Damn I love the USA 🇺🇸😍❤
Too bad it breaks when ever it kneels every. fucking. time. C5s are shit, this was brought to you by the C17 gang.
Ricegum but plane edition
Damn where are all the conservatives complaining about our budget here?
So basically: The air force bought a faulty product, then they spent billions of tax payers money to have it fixed and buy even more of em. Any ordinary person would have returned the product but the air force just doubled tripled and quadrupled down. Amazing.
Has he done the antonov yet?
Worst channel, especially his blatantly false videos where ya , it’s EXACTLY what you think.
I liked those helicopter planes (forgot their names oof)
thicc
Aluminium ffs sake it's aluminium
American/British. We’re all talking about the same thing 😉
"Otherwise the plane would have been too stable" Golly, what a problem to have. Like I get why it was one, but out of context it just sounds too good
C5 Galaxy and C17 Globe Master are True masters of the Sky but not until the B52 Strato has its presence on the sky
And u gotta know that the one guy is stearing that
"But it's not what you think it is" that line is legendary 👍🤣
My grandfather actually helped design the engines for the c5 when he work for ge
$1.400.000.000.000 well damn
Ur tax money
These can also cary people(troops) in the top. There is a small(ish) hump on the top near the cockpit where airline seats can be situated. I have ridden from California to Baltimore in one of these. The ride is very loud but a great experience.
Money pit since 1970
My husband works on fighter jets planes in the USAF. He loves his job & has done great in it for the last eighteen years. So proud of him!
Colorado springs?
That C5 on the runway near the start was greeted with a firehose salute, im guessing it was carrying a fallen soldier???
@TheMattvf16 whats that?
Could be a pilot’s “fini flight”
Name of song in background?
check video description
Holy shit!!
I thought the B52 was the largest??
Maybe one of the largest bombers but it's tiny. Like the size of a Boeing 767 at the most but with a very narrow body.
Did you know the c-5 has stairs in its tails
So what would its weight/wake turbulence classification be? Heavy? Super?
Amazing aircraft.
Reagan liked government spending after all
Bombushka and avenger ❤️
So basically it’s a plane with bendy wings that cracked so they made them bendier
I flew from SoCal to Kuwait in a C5. Alot of ppl don't know but up top is passenger seating. If I remember there were about 50-75 seats. They faced backwards in ours. Below in the cargo hold was 2 folded up CH53 helicopters. So the biggest military plane was carrying 2 of the biggest Marine Corps helicopters and 50 US Marines. No windows. First we landed in Dover. Then we landed in Italy. Then KCIA. 11 months later I flew back in a C17 with a stop in Germany then a refuel over the Atlantic Ocean which was horrifically turbulent until connection then landed in So Cal. We have the best planes by far
AVENGER
Used to work at a small regional airport that had a military base nearby and when I'd see one of these things land or takeoff it's incredibly humongous compared to the commercial planes we parked. Remarkable aircraft to see in person.
ANTONOV AN124'S *AMERICAN COUSIN*
@ThePandathat's a good one lemme change it
American cousin
Do one on the C-17. A much more modern and very tough transport.
I love how in the beginning, there were many avengers, and during the vid, they unloaded an akula
I was on two of these aircraft with CH 46s in the belly there are 73 seats and they are facing backwards
Amazing to see all those draughtsmen on their drawing boards. These days there would be a fraction of that number working CAD.
I love C5
I love these short videos. Most of them suck but the ones on your channel are really good.
Glad to hear you like them 😊👍🏼
Too stable
The C-5 For when you need to drop a tactical fire engine on a suspected enemy location
Im simpel man who like big guys fighting
I drive one in game
Shame is breaks everytime it’s flown.
That was a ton of MV-22's. Not sure I've seen that many staged up before. Yes, the C5 is huge, when they have one next to our C130's it makes our planes look tiny
C-130 is tiny. Even next to a C-17 it's tiny. Hell even next to a F-15 while it's bigger of course but still F-15 looks big next to it.
When you have to say the title of the movie, even though it doesn't make any sense:
But why is there a Chinese symbol on its forehead?
Kerbal Space Program players: hey, I've seen this one!
I love this plane. 😍
They are absolutely massive aircraft. I've been inside them.
Was inside one a couple years ago. It's massive!
How the fuck did we manage to make something like this
I think the engineering behind these machines is so cool, but at the same time I realize that they are somewhat expensive
The C5 is so cool, its huge and where I live in Atlanta you see them a lot in the distance, they look like they are moving slow but its because they are so big their speed looks low
That is alot of ospreys
No talk of how the early ones had a tendency to crack they’re tails clean off.. yikes.
Good work on the video, it is apprecaited by me.
Well thank you!
"285,000 pounds" Damn guess your mom can't fit on this plane bro
😂
That’s hot
Staffan Carlen, absolute banger bro
It might be the biggest cargo plane the world has ever seen but it’s still not big enough to fit MY ego.
