Ok, I’ll give you that, the plane itself is not that big. I know, I see them all the time.

Sadly the An-225 rests in pieces.

Mindlessly destroyed by Putin.

"Fat Albert" is the C-130T Hercules used by the Navy Blue Angels.

The Air Force's C-5 Galaxy is the largest U.S. military aircraft.

Landings start at 5:28 in the video, skip there if you already know the A-10s specs.

I wonder how long it would remain in your rear view mirror?

Until the pilot notices a Bump under the wheel. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Exactly. An A-10 isn’t “massive”.

Hell, even the F/A-18 Growlers aren’t massive.

Since the Antonov got blowed up in Ukraine, the C-5M is the biggest in the world.

But I’d still rather have an A-10 or a C-130 Smokey to protect me.

/That or a MQ-9 Reaper...

“C-130 Smokey”

Is that the AC 130 Spectre? That’s some bad ass air support!

Strange that you should mention that- I too saw something really strange late this morning, above Pflugerville’s Austin Executive Airport- I saw one of those large turboprop aircraft flying in a circle for about 45 minutes, seemingly going nowhere. Looking back on it, I think maybe he was going up gradually, then took out in a westerly direction. He must have made at least 12 or 15 laps before leaving the area.

Flew on a Fat Albert on my way to Saudi during the Gulf War. Shoved 2 platoons of Marines PLUS 3 CH-53’s in that bugger.

Sounds like they may have been practicing in-flight refueling. Or possibly a deployment.
