Oshkosh Heavy/Large Aircraft! EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019 

Imagine if this C-5 had TF39s I hope someone restores one with TF39s (to flying condition)

We just call it a tactical takeoff using "Tactical Rated Thrust" or more commonly known as a standing takeoff and it has nothing to do with airfield security perimeters. Surface to Air missiles don't magically stop working over airfields (no we don't have systems to shoot them down either) and they can easily reach us from a nearby location pretty easily during takeoff. This C5 is giving a good show of climb capabilities for the audience but that's about all. We would fly straight out at the maximum safe angle as quickly as possible. That will get us out of harm's way a lot faster than staying in the area and remaining a target. Our approaches in a tactical environment are deliberately corkscrewed so as to make the landing as quick as possible from higher altitude and try and avoid any incoming fire. Every time I took off from Shank or Bagram I wondered if that was going to be it.

The Avro for me

Same If the C-5 had the loud TF39s...

It never fails to amaze me how those big things get off the ground.

both behemoths in their class...i can't even imagine landing a C5...

Yes! I second and third these comments! Lol

Me too

Amen to that, a guy at my local air museum flew ‘em for 20 some years

Nice living in the same state.

Steve Henry in "YeeHaw", Yamaha-power!

That's one of those situations where you think someone is waving at you then you realize, no, its someone behind you instead.

lol right... he's like "o...k i'll make someone notice me... heads up camera crew!" (3:07)

Thank you!

AirshowStuffVideos You’re welcome!

Thank you!

Damn right.. I have seen C-5 few times but this is the first that I ever seen making so aggressive climbing.

Thank you!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

...and ruined shot of 787 landing. Idiot.

It be a Kitfox from one of the Flying Cowboys that put on the STOL competition this year. Didn't see them!

He was being a real shit to me!!!

Ha, no. We were at the far south end waiting to see the STOL competition. He landed just before it started. They got the planes taxied out and then had to shut everything down so the fire crews could race to the plaza to help with the fire. But we were out of speaker range so we had no idea what was going on until some friends messaged us from the plaza. Would have been interesting to see!

Lol hilarious

Pretty sure that's the one that ended up catching fire on the ramp!

That's awesome

Thats a big jet, impressive, what airline does your brother fly for?

@@LB-pg3no Republic Airways, a regional carrier for United, Delta, and American.

I miss the old C5A's thrust reversers.

@@dtennow Oh those make a wonderful sound!

It's absolutely massive compared to the vast majority of other planes there. All relative.

Normal for AirVenture!

1) It's not a military airport 2) It's during the world's larget airshow!

AirshowStuffVideos Ohhhhhhh. I think that’s more logic. Sorry 😐.... *The 747 Is not Dead left the server*. :v.

Embraer ok

@Gregory Thompson...Why are you watching a video featuring loud jets?

@@hankscally9658 I would note that the newer videos lack that very loud starting noise
