Inside the C-5 Super Galaxy: The Ultimate & Biggest Military Transport Aircraft, @Learnfromthebase

is there is a reason why the seats for the troop's face backwards?

Informative; thank you! But despite its size and the four engines, this beauty is not that loud. 🫡

it wouldn't be a C5 video without a bunch of Antonov fanboys in the comments.

I am a former C-5 Loadmaster. I had the pleasure to see the world thanks to this work horse.

Amazing.. I was a passenger in one during Desert Storm. Facing backwards. But this covers so much more than me boarding amd seating down for a 9 hour flight

Thanks for using the proper term "lavatory".

Nice to see what affordable housing, quality daycare, longer vacations, free medical care, decent infrastructure, lower taxes, cheaper healthier food, safer cleaner streets, better education and strong border enforcement for all Americans and their children otherwise looks like, especially because it was paid for by them. Welcome to the 1%'s-owned America, the Land of the Ignorant, the Indifferent, the Corrupt, the Propagandized and Extreme Poor, and recently, with your tax dollars at work, paying for genocide and the mass murder of children.

Jumping out of one is like jumping out of the side of a flying apartment complex going several hundred miles an hour. Minimum cruising speed: they don't say, which seems a bit dumb, because the speed of the plane really doesn't matter as much to anyone but the troops jumping out of it at speed. Aviation people are rather insensitive, just like all the other 'rich' people, don't you think?

The C-5 Super Galaxy is powered by four GE CF6-80C2 turbofan engines each developing a thrust of 50,580lb. The thrust given here of 41,000lbs is for the original engines(TF-39) that were used.

The biggest military Transport aircraft is the Antonov An-124 Ruslan (Russian/Ukrainian) then the C5M Super Galaxy.

pls do a comparison video vth antonov 225❣❣

What about the 150t max. load capacity on the Antonov AN-124?

Drove my M60A1 into a c5. Flew from Fort Bliss to Fort Hood Tx shot a gunnery and back in 24 hours. Training exercise in the early 80's.

These dirty workers in the bunks didn't even take off their boots.

Got to go inside one years ago at an airshow, at Brunswick NAS in Maine. Front and rear was open, hard to describe how massive it is! ✌️

I was assigned to a TAC squadron when I was in the Air Force. We'd go mobile and operate from remote sites. To do that, we needed MAC support. Once in awhile a C-5 would be sent to help transport us. What blew me away was how short their take-off distance was, and how slow they'd be moving when they'd leave the ground. It was almost surreal.

I want this guy reading my eulogy

My husband got to ride one from Travis AFB to Panama for Operation Just Cause.

Interesting and hi from Missouri usa ❤❤❤

The RUSSIAN AN-124 is the BIGGEST cargo aircraft in the world.

When I was an F-16 crew chief at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, I had the unfortunate opportunity to witness a C-5 crash in the field behind my workplace. It happened just as I was turning in my tools sometime after 10pm. That C-5 was an Air Force Reserve A-model out of Kelly AFB, TX.

Good

My favorite aircraft

Kinda like the An 225

It is a beautiful plane.
Only guess it is a real plane
Not Anime.
Could include actual videos of C 5.
Love the plane.

While the C-5A was known to be the only aircraft that was bigger than the 747, which was the world's largest airliner for many years, the C-5A was only a military transport carrier, or cargo plane, and never an airliner. Most of the remaining 747's today either being scrapped, or converted to cargo planes. The A380 Airbus was the only other aircraft that could carry more passengers than the 747, but never caught on to any major US airlines, and was not in production for very long.

193,600 liters = 150 tons ??

Guys subscribe if Allah is better and like if jusus us better

Is

Dear graphics person(s), the 436 & 512 Air Wings are based at Dover AFB not Travis AFB. Other than that 10/10. 👌🏻

Great video! Silly question, bur why are the seats facing backward ? Thanks in advance !

❤

Apart from a few upgrades, they never should have replaced with anything but new production C-5s.

How about using it to transport food, or supplies.....instead of bombs?

Awesome documentary

I have a need to move 22.5 Adult African elephants half the way around the world......hmmm!

So basically American made AN-124

Pleased incresed your jets engine power incresed the technologys advancement pleased sir pleased

The C-5 Super Galaxy is big, but not the biggest Military transport, that wold be the Antonov An 225 Myra. The C-5 about matches her little sister the Antonov An-124, that is still slightly bigger.

Just a question but how many illegal aliens could you fit on there with defective parachutes? I'm just asking

😅

I trained in the C-5 in the winter of 1969-70. Worked on some of the first ones the Air Force had. Then I was stationed at Travis AF Base in California and worked on them for two years. Interesting air plane.

37 million Americans live below the poverty line and we have this to thank for it. Yeah, keep refueling that thing as it flys Abram tanks all over the world. Much more important.

Thank you very much. I'm a Navy Nuclear Submarine Vet and knew virtually nothing about these great airplanes! I appreciate the video; I learned a lot!

Earned some knowledge...well explainedd❤..
