Thank you and I’m really an average Loadmaster.

???

Can confirm.

More to it than that, but yes. The C-5 has had a few gear up landings in its past but all because the gear literally wouldn’t come down, not a crew error.

Sounds like a Tuesday.... :)

Dover, on the right coast.

Yeah the fuse plugs in our wheels are designed to melt above 800 something. The jet we where on had the new to the C-5 carbon brakes, they’re extremely effective. I didn’t go into crazy detail above, I can nerd out in private lol.

That picture is my two favorite airplanes. I wanted to be a pilot so bad as a kid just to fly the Blackbird. Sadly I went the enlisted route and got C-5 Loadmaster, still not a bad gig.

For size reference.

My worst is probably more than most have ever experienced. Brake fire.

In case reading is hard for you I’ll give you a second chance to go back through both articles. I’ll wait.

I think you’re on the wrong site. Everyone here would be buying manual brown wagons and Chevy SS’s.

Your comment is getting me all hot under the collar.

Farm-to-table opium den had me dying! Thanks for that!

I miss it. I never should have sold mine.

My AWD Rally prepped BRZ is ready, bring on the ice.

Guess I know what I’ll be doing tonight...

My first gen Ridgeline has a large blind spot there now that you mention it and I look over my shoulder. Doesn’t bother me to much cause I have large mirrors.

It’s 4WD in the Super Duty.... AWD is a completely different story.

I will bet that it’s RWD only with adaptive dampers and bigger fancier brakes  than the standard SRT. AWD with that kind of power is asking for warranty issues.
