I have been a maintainer for the C-5A, B, C, and M models for 26 years. The C-5 Galaxy makes it possible to provide logistical support for vast amount of humanitarian crisises, infrastructure, and military. I have had the privilege to see the world to repair broke C-5's and years later, I have never been prouder of been part of C-5 history.

We loaded 3 Black Hawks and a HEMTT on one to take to Jamaica in the early 90's. I remember asking the crew where we were going to sit - and they took me "upstairs" to see the troop seating area that I had no idea existed. My mind was blown.

The Air Force used to give kids tours of these at the Dayton Air Show when I was young. I got to sit in the pilot seat, it was like being in a 3 or 4 story building. They gave us kids unit patches and stickers, and the crew was always happy to show the bird off to us kids and our parents.

I was a loadmaster on the C-5 for years. I'm still in awe. What an amazing aircraft!

[chrisaguilera]

This plane is over 50 years old. There were some incredible engineers back in the day.

How this MONSTER gets off the ground is absolutely amazing. LOUD!!!

Flew on a C5 once from Dover to Ramstein . it was Space A travel and it was cool to sit upstairs. no movie or wi fi in the 80s, just a bag lunch and bug juice. lol

Having seen one of these beasts up close, the pictures and graphics don’t do it justice. It is a colossus of the sky.

On the first of my two Space-A flights on a C-5 an engine failed 3 hours out of Rhein-Main. The plane jerked violently to the right when it happened. The pilots quickly righted the aircraft, and we flew for another 15 minutes or so before diverting to an airbase in England. It was afternoon when we exited the plane and had to go through customs and then left on our own. We were told to return the next day by some morning hour that I don't remember. I had my two pre-teen stepsons with me on the flight and we spent the night in a B&B near the airport. This was a time before cell phones, so not so easy to do. We returned the next day and boarded the same plane and flew on to Dover, DE without further issues. Unlike a normal airliner, the C-5 is not noise insulated. You have to wear hearing protection when flying in one.

I got to go inside one once when I was in the Marine Corps. Those things are huge, a video does not do the size justice.

[JohnShields-xxyk]

It's a big part of our global reach, we can bring the military anywhere in the world, quickly, efficiently 🇺🇸

[KingTriton]

I was in the aerial port at Travis AFB and worked on these for 10 years! Along with the KC-10, C-17 and the KC-135!

[vanroeling]

I toured the inside of a C-5 many years ago- very impressive!

[Max_Flashheart]

Nice animation good work. The C-5 kneels at both ends and allows the loadmaster to tweak clearances for difficult loads I believe. I think one went from Christchurch to McMurdo Station in Antarctica in 1990. They had an open day we were guided through C-5 and the normal c-16 Globemasters that are station here. My father was really excited to see the C-5 and C-17s.

[Retiredtraveler]

I’ve flown on them “ space A” twice, one hell of a ride!

[JackNiles-hcyz]

I've flown across both oceans in a C-5. A bit slow, but comfortable enough.

[markchapman]

Awesome video. Crazy how something so big and heavy stays in the air.

[chriswhite]

Always been impressed with these behemoths.
With their layout and cargo capabilities, they seem less like planes and more like flying ships.

I grew up a few miles from a reserve air force base. We saw (and heard) them constantly. It was normal to just stop your conversations mid sentence when they were flying overhead. The older engines SCREAMED. The newer ones are significantly quieter.
