If there's any way to blur out that tail number, I'd do it. Otherwise, awesome video! I work on the flight line at Ramstein Air Base pushing pallets all day every day and I'm on C5s at least once a day. Great looking giants, but not reliable at ALL haha

@TCNSmusic why would you blur out the tail number?

[IdolHans]

I logged 6981.5 hours on the C-5 as a instuctor flight engineer at Travis. Once you know the airplane, it's not that hard to move it and keep it to a schedule.

@IdolHans id love to try cargomaster on this beast but in aus biggest cargo plane we have is C17

Except for some glare, this is quite an impressive machine! Good video skills too! I haven't figured out how to use that function on my camera yet! hahaha! so kudos to you for a great job!

[proudalice]

@BearBearGuate thanks heaps mate. I do the best i can with the conditions. We couldnt really drive around the other way for no glare as we would have driven on a 'live' taxiway and thats a no no.... we dont have radios for it or appropiate licences

@proudalice OPSEC is a big deal at least here at Ramstein. It's really not a big deal if no one's said anything about it in over 2 years that the video's been up, but I know here they make a HUGE deal out of tail numbers in pictures..If you look on the Ramstein facebook page, they have a bunch of pictures of C5s and C17s and the tails are blurred out in every picture

@IdolHans thats a hour a day for 10 years :l

I'm glad they're re-engining this mighty beast. The entire fleet -- the -A- models included -- ought to be re-winged, re-engined and given the avionics upgrades.

@proudalice You Aussies are the best, greatest and nicest friends American's ever had! I got to go down under 10 times during my career. I brought you your first FA-18's from the factory at St. Louis all the way to Avalon (outside of Melbourne) back in June 1984 on a C-5. I've been to Sydney, Richmond, Brisbane, Townsville, Alice Springs, Melbourne. WE LUV YA!
