+Erik 1,812 Posted May 27, 2009 If I'm not mistaken that was the #2 engine failure during T/O at Dover AFB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayethWhaaaa 245 Posted May 28, 2009 Jaysus... One of them new C-5s with the hinged cargo door...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+streakeagle 871 Posted May 28, 2009 C-5s are amazing aircraft to see flying low in take-off/landing configurations. Seeing something so large flying so slow. I miss the original MAC colors (white over gray with a blue stripe between the two). I know the C-5s have been overhauled quite a bit, but they have also done quite a few years/miles of flying. I wonder how long they can keep going? Obviously, this one's time ran out. Can anyone say "spare parts"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some how the spare parts always seem to show up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serverandenforcer 33 Posted May 28, 2009 And we here at my unit, the 445th AW are still flying them everyday. Some how the spare parts always seem to show up. That's because there are pilots that like to land there planes without lowering the landing gears. Dover!... cough, cough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557 Posted May 28, 2009 maybe it`s the same like the Buff, still in service...for the next 20 Years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAKO69 186 Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Where's the Creamy Filling? It would be in the crash truck w/3% afff. If you look close you can see the plane is wet, it was probably already sprayed and the crash rig is just on standby until USAF and DOD investigaters get there.
