I stand corrected in the late 70's, 76 and on cracks were discovered in the wings and later in the fuselage, which caused them to limit payload to 80%. This was until the new wings were to be installed. Being as old as I am and the fact I'm a veteran of 20 years in the Air Force. I am a tax payer, I wouldn't steer anyone wrong. I don't need sarcasm.

Engines very powerful, over powered to be exact. They've been known to crack wing spars at full throttle. Smooth riding aircraft. I'd fly on it any day. I loved working on it. Huge aircraft. The engines are huge and you realize it when you help change one. As an aircraft technician I had 6 years experience on this airframe. It's just big, I mean really big. Take my word for it. It takes a lot of fuel during take-off. It takes 1.5 hours to refuel.
@spiderman9027 You are far from correct, and for someone who has had 6 years experience you should know this. They have NEVER cracked a wing spar from the TF-39 being "overpowered." In fact on most takeoff rolls we fly at 110% N1, N2, past the engine's maximum recommended output. Now, the new M model engine, technically the GE CF6-80C2L1F, is the overpowered engine. We fly 90% with no problems. Please do not ill-inform the tax paying public. 7 Year C-5 APG, current C-5 Flight Engineer, USAF.
I'm gonna' go out and say that by the looks of that building, you are at Ramstein Air Base, I say that because that building looks like the new PX/BX and hotel. Let me know if I'm wrong.
@lmiamic47 actually the C-5 Galaxy has a whistley sound to it and they're changing it. I just heard heard it today at an airshow and they said it is the last time you will hear it.
I logged 6981.5 hours on the C5 as an Instructor FE. That' a confortable airplane. They have 2 bunk rooms right behind the flight deck that you can sleep in. In hot climates the air conditioning was weak but once airborne it worked well. Not a very reliable airplane but it's getting better as the moderinzation program gets going and they learn to make it's mechanical systems more reliable.
jon5700, a real captain pilot, #1 on flight simulator videos in youtube, god video, god textures, god graphic, god take-off, god approach, god landing, god taxi way, congratulations.
@alkhars11 well you should wait until july i think when fs11 is coming out...i cant wait..although at first it will be expensive so you could get the fsx that is great aswell
Just had to watch this video again. A C-5 just flew over the house (and I live a half mile away from our main runway) and I absolutely love the sound of those engines!
gimme a second... you cheat! you must have edited the AIR-file, no galaxy would've taken such a short distance =D at any case, seeing the C5 on such a low amount of main gear is veeery disturbing^^ great job on the graphics!
Actually you don't need that many wheels to support that bird fully loaded. You need all those wheels to spread the load out to prevent cracking the runway(!) You should check out the setup under an AN-225.
@Ninjaxz2 There are a lot of plains in FSX. Certainly if you use the random scenery. You can add scenery so you get mountains and vallys. You can also add "PLANES"
I live in San Antonio Texas close to Lackland AFB and Kelly Field (no called Port of San Antonio). I have to say that the C-5 is one loud plane. It flies around the house several times before it lands....sometime two or three a day. The dogs go crazy!
Very nice! I grew up near Dover AFB and used to watch these, and then got to fly in them a few times while in the Service. They require amazingly little runway for TO and LND for such a large aircraft. Would have been more impressive with Rolls engines instead of GE, like the 747. :-)
Nice vid and great plane. Its refered to as the "aluminum overcast" by airforce personel. Its very loud when it comes here to drop off cargo. I love the sound it makes
hey jon5700, i know the trick you did to get airborne so quick. like a drag racing car, you powered up the engines to full throttle. so that when you released the brakes. the plane would get up to speed way faster because you had a short runway to work with. is that correct!?!
@nitestrike1000 I work at a C-5 base. I've heard it referred to as FRED, but never as aluminum overcast. That's news to me. I'm definitely going to miss that sound when they eventually all get re-engined.
@Mexicano27mexicaN FsX is just a combination of updates since FS7 and some new airports, scenery and XML gauges..... i would still stick to fs9.. Got more addons that FSX :)
Love the C-5... but its a close second to my all time favourite, the Rockwell B-1b Lancer. I dont know if you do requests but i would very much like to see a B1 on Flight sim. =]
Nice one Jon! I saw on the tail that this C-5 has the Dover AFB markings on it. I live near there and its always great to see the giants fly over your house once and a while.
This is my favorite aircraft of all time. But something is missing from this one. The low creepy whine of those enormous engines. I normally get goose bumps when I hear a C-5 on takeoff, but this particular one didn't do it for me. Also, is it animated ? Can I open the nose cone or the rear cargo bay door ?
Having the flaps extended lowers the stall speed. I'm not very familiar with the C-5 so I can't tell how much flaps he's giving it. being a Short Take Off I would assume he's got them extended a bit further than he would if he was taking off on a normal runway.
I use REX (Real Environment Xtreme) for FS2004. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a great environment add-on. Also check into Active Sky - very good also!

Having the flaps extended lowers the stall speed. I'm not very familiar with the C-5 so I can't tell how much flaps he's giving it. being a Short Take Off I would assume he's got them extended a bit further than he would if he was taking off on a normal runway.
