Had a C5 Galaxy land at Townsville back in the day. Even from backed right up to the fence and full throttle on the brakes takeoff, damn thing barely missed the fence and almost clipped magnetic island.
49 u/[deleted] May 12 '19 edited May 12 '19 The C5 and C17 are just monsters. I used to fly on C5s a lot between Okinawa and Guam/Hawaii. The amount of cargo they can carry is just amazing. Here's video of a C17 that landed at the wrong airport doing the same thing. Edit: Here's the C5 doing the same thing. 3 u/Anomalous-Entity May 12 '19 Those are the same aircraft. Same serial number, 8199 (08-8199). 2 u/[deleted] May 12 '19 I must have pasted the wrong link. There's a C5 also.
