C5 Galaxy Low Thrust Fly-by at Stewart Int.

oh and the same airport also serves heaps of visiting forces. Its not unusual to see a few US aircraft sitting on the tarmac. there was a few f15s here a few days ago... no idea why... and this same airport is the only place outside of any US base that the B2 has landed. Im so glad we're allies!

i feel your pain too... I live about a mile from the defence hub of northern Australia... we have 2 naval installations, a major army base and the air force base... so 4 bases PLUS the civie airport... all served by the same runway... 24hrs a day... at least i know what C-17's and F/A-18c/f's sound like... sounds like FREEDOM!

(ps please dont laugh at us cos we still have f18c's! its not our fault we spend our defence budget on beer xD)

haha i live right across the river from here and see or at least hear one of these over my house every day.

oh, my god, do you know the meaning of "it looked like"?

Yeah it gos much faster i ghess the ploits don't go fast when there that high and also i think the C-5 just past my apt. i had my house and i seen it every day! But the new C-5 i live somewere in DE. But C-5 gos all around DE.

I miss that sound from my old house when it flew over my house it brings memores and kinda makes my sad becuse i love that plane.

Nor was it in '76-
At Travis AFB Calif-
3 AM and jet lag after X/C trip to sisters' place- nephew playing record at this hour, and C-5's were shrilly running engines on flight line- I WOKE UP IN LOVE THIS MORNING- Partridge Family- was record he was playing- I was NOT pleased with him at that moment!

It wasnt a stall, Stall is somewhere around 140 knots. I dont think he was going much faster than that though. Its so big, it looks like its going slower than it is. a 258" wingspan keeps em up.

Another amaizing machine.

I feel your pain. I use to be stationed at Norfolk Naval Base which is basically across the street from Norfolk Air Force Base. Man you can hear those things taking off while inside the ship. I stood right under its takeoff path one day just to see how loud that thing really is. Luckily I still have some hearing left lol. Loud is an understatement

I lived 2 miles in the flight path of a military airport with C5's flying out all the time. The sound is not pleasant at 3 am.

love the sounding of those engines

i know, but it flew very very slow. i thought it was going to stall

Huh??? If it were a stall the plane would've ended up in a large pile of burning aluminum.

it looked like a stall
