I was a reporter when the C5 lost a whole damn tire on its 1st flight, and was a friend of Ernie Fitzgerald, who exposed the cost 'overruns' n why they happened... even more disturbing than the outright criminality of Lockheed n the USAF 'overseers' was when Ernie was invited up to Harvard to explain to them how it happened n how to avoid it happening again was that the Harvards didn't want to avoid it - they wanted to know how to replicate Lockheed's bailout.

When I worked in a high rise office bldg in Springfield, MA I got to watch them doing touch & go's at Westover. When they are empty, they look like they are moving at a walking pace.

Am I seeing things? It looks like the front wheel comes off of the ground shortly after it starts its takeoff role, right about 1:36 in the video.

One of my student cross country flights, I had the opportunity of seeing one take a long, leisurely turn in front of me. I was looking at the broad side of that monster for far too long, and wondering why my pitiful 115 mph was getting me uncomfortably close...

And, of course, I imagined the invisible, sideways tornadoes extending back from each wingtip.

I live near Stewart AFB, Newburgh, NY and see these in the air occasionally...their apparent motion looks all wrong...your eye wants to interpret as dirigibles. Anything that big in the sky must be close and should be moving fast if that close. Since it isn't, it must be lighter than air, otherwise, apparently being that close and moving so slow, it'd fall out of the sky...
