The C-5 galaxy, the largest strategic airlifter in the United States Air Force will boggle your mind with its the 90-degree rotating landing gear, the fact that it can kneel down, the ability to travel in reverse, and its strange passenger deck with seats that face backward toward the rear of the airplane. The C-5 has a few really cool nicknames, one of them being Linda Lovelace (You read that right!), but the reason, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #longs

Did you spot the biggest inaccuracy in our video?
"…because scientific research shows that a tank landing on you is directly correlated with ruining an otherwise fine day." I laughed out loud!
This was a good video and amusing too! (The airplane took off on unpaved runway and so did a large portion of the runway)!!!
Double spelling check the r from FRED. There's no e in ridiculous.
The aircraft its amazing though.
Worldwide capability, thanks US Airforce!
1:39 s15
Big Mac. Oh yeah my favorite meal from Maccas
LOL love the flash at the word "kneeling"
They call it a porn star because it’s the only other aircraft they can swallow another aircraft when its mouth opens up
I road in one from Norway to Cherry Point… Did a terrifying mid air refueling in the middle.
Bro, Linda Lovelace was basically being raped in the pornfilms featuring her. And I think you should mention that she later became an feminist and anti-porn. It’s not what you think:)
Cumulus aluminus is a good one XD
Back in the 90s i saw a photo of a space shuttle in the belly of a C5 at Travis AFB. Never heard a whisper about it in the years that followed.
Its nice that Fred is good at taking loads from both ends for $100,000 for 1 hour. Its a bit expensive for my taste. Does Fred offer extras?
An American aircraft without at least a 120mm cannon? Unbelievable.
Named after a porn actor? Totally believable.
The C5 is an awesome plane to see and fly in! I got to fly in one many years ago, and even got to be in the cockpit for takeoff!!
Very american if you ask me
What a lazy joke
Well done. Thanks. 👍👍
The other problem with rear-facing seats is that flying debris will hit your face instead of the seat-back behind you!
Thumbnail pic is fake. It's not that big. Voted down.
Not what you think – Air Force put the seats backwards in their C-141 cargo planes back in the 70's or earlier.
hi fred
4:25 was not what you think!. It was not reverse thrust in forward flight. The 747 had armored vehicles (MRAPs) that had either not been tied down correctly or that broke their moorings during a high-angle climb out due to operational conditions in Afghanistan, shifting the center of gravity and causing the plane to enter an unrecoverable stall. Love the vids but misleading use of visuals – naughty naughty!
Coool
Great show, with Good humor, and informative. The reference does remind me of how old I am. LoL
7:45 thats the reason why 🙃
Sorry but I have to do it.
This is how airplanes born 7:44 😂
Thought it would be the "Hedge hog".
The B-52 is known as the BUFF = Big Ugly Fat Fk
If you think Fred’s a big boy, you should’ve met his Ukrainian cousin…
I had the privilege of not only flying on these massive planes a few times from Germany to Dover AFB but i was on the flight that brought our 241 deceased marines from the Beirut bombing to Dover. It was a very somber flight
Garbage clickbait 😡
14:05 hhahahahaha
The perfect name to represent today's emasculated man. Takes from the front and the back……
I have been involved with military aviation now for over 40 years. I have never heard of this anywhere. I don't think that is correct. It sounds more like crew comradery to me.
yeah i wasnt going to feel bad for boeing
Dude! "Inboard" engines, NOT "inbound!" LOL Very informational video and thanks for depressing all of us with the absurd money we spend on "defence" and this comment is from a retired Military pilot! Best of luck to all of us!
Linda Lovelace…HA!!!
It's exactly what I think. Change your name.
This entire video is incorrect on so many levels and yes its exactly what we think. Way to show a fatal accident claiming it as reverse thrust by the way.
Well If I'm honest the Russian airforce has a transport aircraft called the antonov "cock"
Fred Flintstone
Could you imagine a C-5 A Water bomber for fighting fires . ✈️🔥🔥🔥🔥🏥🏩🏠🏣🏔️🏔️🏔️🏜️🌲🌲🌲🌲
Fred picking up the slack from little engine that could, but never did.
If we had a British version, with such a cavernous entrance they'd name it the Katie Price.
At least it's name is Fred and not mia khalifa.
