“...and we have the brakes here...” lol
The shape is more reminiscent to me of antanov than lockheed. I would love to hear one taking off
I have a had that pleasure. Had 1 land and taxi off the runway right next to a paving project I was doing one evening. As soon as it parked as few hundred feet away from us, they lowered it and raised the nose. It was pretty cool
Ha! I came here for this comment. I stopped the vid at that exact moment to laugh and check comments.
I saw one at Dulles when they were pretty brand new, c. 69 or 70, at a transportation exhibition.
Hearing one taking off? I have. It sounds like 10,000 angry vacuum cleaners roaring at once.
FRED (the C-5) no longer has its distinctive TF-39 sound.
