  • So what is the point of touching the runway and taking off again? Anyone explains me?

  • Touch and gos allow the pilot to practice multiple takeoffs and landings without having to take the time to taxi back to the runway after each landing.

  • yeah! thanks. my friend and I had just taken his Cirrus to SCK for some maintenance when we saw this "lunker" doing touch and go's. made for a really cool show.

  • i can't quite make out the tail number on that plane, but it appears to be a Travis AFB tail, which would make it a C-5B airplane. :)

  • You could be right ubersham. I didn't catch the tail number either, but seeing as Travis isn't too far from Stockton, it wouldn't surprise me if that bad boy is based at Travis.

  • @ta666ak666 The pilots need to get to certain flying hours to receive their flying pay on top of their regular pay. It's call "Flying around the flag pole".

  • love the C-5A's being from Newburgh.I am very close to Stewart Air Base and love to watch them and the Marine C-130's take off

  • Love the sound of those engines! They fly right over my house every time they do this. It's awesome.

  • Flying is fun!

  • ha flying that around the circuit must liven up those touch and go's. Must be amazing to fly that

  • We have two runways, RWY 29R/11L is 8650' threshold to threshold (1000' overruns on each side) and RWY 29L/11R is 4454'

  • How long are the runways at Stockon Metro?
