Netz Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) Nothing special, but just a strange place to be seen. USAF C-17 at the Airport in Guatemala City. Actually what was stranger was 2 years ago, we touched down at the same airport (GUA) and the USAF Thunderbirds were there...............

phantom Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 As a Westjet airbus was coming in for a landing, I noticed 2 deer in the yard across the street. ( I really like this new house....right near the airport but far enough to not be too noisey) :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TomcatFanatic123 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) Out fixing some Xmas decorations that had blown over in the wind and I happened to spy a C-5. It was very low (maybe 1,000 ft. or less), gear down probably shooting touch-n-goes out at Vandenberg (I actually saw it 4 times, I think, but I only got one really good view of it). I actually had time to run inside to get binoculars, and from what I saw it was a black and gold tail flash, so I'm assuming Travis. I will say one thing...no C-5 I've ever witnessed has sounded like this one did . Edited December 4, 2007 by TomcatFanatic123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyH Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) When I lived in hamilton I would see the lancaster almost every day. I'm in the Niagara falls area now, don't see it as much but I swear I can still hear it. On the upside there is a guy here that has a spit, hurricane and a 109. With the daimler-benz motor! Tim I get to hear that lovely Lanc at least twice a week,and many other aircraft,I work there! Tony Edited December 5, 2007 by Tony Hayes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chappie Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I will say one thing...no C-5 I've ever witnessed has sounded like this one did . I'm wondering if you saw a new C-5M Super Galaxy with the CF6 engines? As of the 3rd Quarter 2006 there were three flying and I believe the prototype was a Dover C-5. Dover's old tail band was yellow and black. Someday the C-5 sound that we are all familiar with will be gone from the skies. The CF6 is the same engine used on Air Force One. From Code One magazine. On a hot day these engines will haul a 769,000lb C-5M up to 31,000ft in 19 minutes. Current C-5A/Bs take 33 minutes to reach 24,000ft at a take-off weight of less than 769,000lbs!!
