LOCKHEED C-5 Super Galaxy (87-0044) - I was standing 35 feet off the west edge of the runway yesterday (16 June 2021) as this Travis-based Super Galaxy came past (measured diagonally - I was told the left wingtip appeared to be less than 100 feet from me as this behemoth swept past) and planted all those tires down on the concrete.br /br /Focal distance this shot: 70mmbr /br /I had my 70-300 fully closed when I clicked this. I grabbed my other camera with the 18-55mm and tried to get a shot at 18mm -- and I had TOO MUCH LENS! I have no doubt that this is the closest I will ever be to a Super Galaxy as it touches down next to me. WHAT A RUSH!!!!

I was standing 35 feet off the west edge of the runway yesterday (16 June 2021) as this Travis-based Super Galaxy came past (measured diagonally - I was told the left wingtip appeared to be less than 100 feet from me as this behemoth swept past) and planted all those tires down on the concrete.

Focal distance this shot: 70mm

I had my 70-300 fully closed when I clicked this. I grabbed my other camera with the 18-55mm and tried to get a shot at 18mm -- and I had TOO MUCH LENS! I have no doubt that this is the closest I will ever be to a Super Galaxy as it touches down next to me. WHAT A RUSH!!!!

That's not fog obscuring the mountains in the background; its smoke from wildfires. The really weird thing about it was that the smoke stayed there, off in the distance, and so when I spun around to snap this big puppy smokin' all those mains, the sky beyond it was blue with some clouds. And PS - All those main gear tires create a helluva lot of smoke when they kiss the concrete - but I was able to get a shot a split second before I was bombarded with sand, grit, little stones, weeds, and lord knows what else that was being blown right at me by the engines.

When this was still a distance away, inbound on the last few thousand feet of short final, it looked as tho it was aimed directly AT me. It was so unbeleveably real that I almost turned and ran .... but I figured the pilots weren't going to risk damaging a VERY EXPENSIVE military plane just to make me s__t my drawers so I stood my ground and kept clicking the shutter. But GEESH!! As it filled my viewfinder -- and STILL kept getting larger and larger --, I remember thinking -- DUCK! But I didn't. And I'm glad I didn't. (HUGE grin)

Fantastic Shot Gary! Up close and personal with a C5. Doesn't get better than that! All 5 and should be many, many more!
