C-5 Galaxy GO-AROUND and ARRIVAL at PHX

Thanks for the C-5 clip! My dad was a flightline NCO for MATS and MAC back in the 60s-70s, and as an AF brat I saw many aircraft in the traffic patterns of Amarillo, Norton, Rhein-Main, and Jacksonville AF bases. Nothing, but nothing, sounded like a loaded C5-A "FRED" (F-ing Ridiculous Economic Disaster) clawing its way into the sky, and I would always run outside to watch in awe as the grey and white gloss-painted beast slowly paraded by. Planes left quite an impression on me back then, and I'm happily still an Avgeek all these years later... In the last two days I went outside twice to follow Navy V-22 Ospreys passing by my home, thanks to Flightradar24 custim alerts I've setup.

Only you could pull off what you did during the go around portion of this video. Great job :_AVLKEV: that was a lot of fun to watch!

That is one big honkin' plane!

Love how coverage of everything and anything else comes to a halt when that C-5 comes in. Only until it is finally out of view does the show go back to it's "regularly scheduled programing".

That is one amazing giant. It’s just amazing that something that huge can fly. Great video thank you for sharing 😊

Go around, then come around! 💪🏼✈️

Kevin, stellar videography

Good catch getting the gear retraction! I've been watching C-5s go over on their way to Moffett Field since the early '70s, but it's rare that I get to see them actually land. What a beast! I wonder why the 380 gets "Super" status while the C-5 only gets "Heavy"? I'll bet that leaves some nasty wake turbulence behind it.

That’s very cool! 😀

Amazed Kevin new what it was as he struggled with a C130 a couple of days ago!

I see these things every time I drive past Dover Air Force Base. Let me tell you, you truly don’t understand how big these things are, until you see one in person!

Nice catch. Before the engine modification that go around would’ve had that old school C-5 Sound. Looked like a Travis Tail

This was my favorite aircraft when my dad was in the Air Force.

Smooth landing! Loved it! Really enjoyed listening to the ATC at the same time. Thank you so much for catching the C-5! GO USAF❤❤❤

Great shot.

Amazing to see these fly. Prestwick in Scotland has had its fair share of them on fuel stops recently. Mega planes!

It's got to be a good one for Kevin to take the camera off the tripod. Great shot, Kevin!

Nice catch Kevin. On the fly racking up some firsts 🙌🏾👌🏾:_AVLKEV::_AVLGOAROUND:

That is one LARGE aircraft! I remember seeing one fly overhead as it was on approach to Dobbins AFB in Atlanta...AMAZING...everyone just stopped and watched it.

Love these clips you do, thanks, and don't stop.
