DWARREN123 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Had one about 15 inches try to steal my rucksack in Puerto Rico once. Had to go hand to hand with the bugger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For obvious reasons the C-5 has been called the "Aluminum overcast." Seeing something so big looking like it was flying far too slow messed with my senses. And due to the high bypass engines it was far too quiet. A J-3 cub makes more noise at take off. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched one of those land and remember thinking “crap, his engine are out” amazing that something that big flies . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul53 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'd like to see the wings up close. I suspect besides the usual flaps they've added some leading edge slats or whatnot to make the wing surface effectively much larger at low speeds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The C-5 has LEX. The next big thing is the live, blended wing. Star Fleet-type engineering ,it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I did a walkthrough of the C-5A when it was unveiled at Lockheed. I was 10 or 12, I guess, and it was the biggest thing I'd ever seen. And yeah, it's way too big and goes way too slow to not be lighter than air. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
