And another C5. I love these planes.
Shorter and cleaner takeoff.

I guess I was in the mood to be impressed this afternoon and Youtube kept coming up with new vids.
Bruce had a post about Aircoupes/Ercoupes a while back. Those and this are both aircraft somehow.

That AN-225 take off was fairly impressive.

I've flown in a C5 only once, from here to Panama. It was a split load with an upper deck installed for passengers. That thing is ginormous.

A few years back I had to work on the day of our local airshow. It was especially disappointing in that a fly-by of a C5A from Travis Air Force Base was scheduled.
It was early for its appearance and circled where I was working about five times at very low altitude, a much better view than the folks at the airport got.
There was an illusion caused by its huge size that it was barely moving.
I can still hear and see that treat.

Yeah its freaky how much it looks like a stall.

This is what happens when you land on the wrong carrier...

We lost 7 people and a B17 yesterday.

3 crew and 10 passengers on that B-17, sounds like the flight I took on a B-17 which has since been destroyed.

Amazing that there were survivors.
The NTSB is sending a ten person team to spend months on per diem in high end accommodations to find out why an almost 80 year old plane crashed.
I think another one is still working on the duck boat.

Yes, but they'll be on the scene if another plane crashes at Bradley. :rolleyes:

Avoid airports with flying boats.

Only the worst dwellars can highlight...I heard they attempted to lift off from a treadmill... yeah that's too soon.

What did I do?

Must be one of those flying tigers they talk about... :haha:
