For their size, it is amazing to watch them take off with a load in 3000' of runway even though there was 9000' available. What is even more amazing is not even hearing them take off when you are 1/4 of a mile away from the runway centerline.
The engines on the new M mods are louder it seems. You cannot miss them flying around after Lockheed does the modifications here at the Marietta plant.
I will always be in awe of their size since the first time I ever walked through one when I was 10.
I was lucky enough to watch a similar exercise about 25 years ago while flying a 172 just offshore. Watched a C5 downwind, base and final into Pease AFB runway 16. When he did the touch and go he was climbing out at my 3 oclock. Fantastic and exciting view.
