OC-135, RC-135, E-6, and C-5 Fly Low Over the Wire at Offutt AFB

OC-135, RC-135, and E-6 stationed at Offutt AFB doing touch and gos. OC-135 still has the old engines which is why it is a little louder than the other variants of the military version of the 707. It also leaves behind a lot of black smoke. The last aircraft is a C-5 Galaxy flying in for the 2008 Offutt airshow. We were stuck behind a van going 30 mph on a 50mph stretch of road!

curious, how'd you get access to the ATC radio?

[boobahboo]

@KatJax311 any police scanner will pick up ATC frequencies if you know the right one

It's a C-5...the C-17 is a lot smaller and has 9 foot winglets. It also has a whole hell of a lot less landing gear.

The RC-135's features aren't just its nose, All though that is one of its most obvious features (looks like the nose of the Constellation / Bristol Britannia)

But it also has those big bulges on either side of the forward fuselage jam packed with EW equipment.

That last aircraft was for certain a C-5. Who ever thought it was a C-17 needs an eye test. As people have said the C-17 has huge winglets & has a more circular fuselage shape where as the C-5 has a more sort of triangular fuselage shape

the c-5 has the spookiest sounding engines ive ever heard. literally when i heard that, an image of the thing going down popped in my mind.

It would be nice if you stop shaking the camera. Hard to see the details.

Hey guys, wish you could be here in San Antonio Texas.. I live under the flight path of Lackland AFB & the 433 Air Lift Wing with all C-5's. In 2008, a C-5 training school was established at Lackland and these guys are training almost everyday. Also, the pilots of the 433rd have to have a certain amount of touch 'n' go's per month. If not they can't be deployed. I'm not kidding you, as I type this, the C-5 trainer is going over my house. I love the C-5, I grew up with the Galaxy.
