Maybe one of those C-130's I think it is, that does exercises, usually I've seen them though around 4:30, 5 pm.


Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent.  
Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

I seen one plane last week it was about 3 times the size of those c-130's, the thing was humongous.

That would be the C-5 Galaxy (large tail).  He was at Schenectady County Wed/Thursday of last week.


We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.   Funny how that works.

C5 Galaxy



These things are huge.  They make a recognizable different sound from other large planes.

By comparison to the typical C130 that we normally see flying over the city:
C-130
Length: 98'    Wingspan: 133'


The C5 Galaxy:
Length: 247'    Wingspan 223'


The C5 has been updated through it's production to include, C-5A 1968–1973,C-5B 1985–1989,
and C-5M  2006–present.
They cost 168 million (1987).

The power to get one of these beasts in the air when fully loaded must be incredibl;e.

Check out this video and you can hear the
distinctive sound these monsters make while in the air.
