and to think i have 16 of these puppies based at Westover ARB in Massachusetts, from the 439th military airlift wing. and i live only about 10 min away from the base. both my parents were based at westover for a time, while they were both in the army a while back. gotta love family history! nice video though, i love these birds! :D semper fi, carry on!
Very Little actually, All Bark, No Bite. even at ATOT, they only produce 43,000lbs of thrust. Which by todays standards cant be found in that class of engine. Leave it to the USAF to even derate the CF6-80C2 engines. I personally recommended the GE90-90B engine, which is more fuel efficient, and has 40% more power.
haha seagulls :p

Not really important ktm511, but you may want to change the spelling of Texas in the description...
And BTW, I lived in Va Beach for a few years when my dad was stationed at Oceana in the late 60's. F4's, A6's and F8's
I love going to the base and seeing the planes up close!

@PaganEgyptian You wanna pay for higher fuel bills from more powerful engines? Derating saves fuel.
