Thanks Ian, i was just telling Mike that i did about 5 approaches in that C-5 ......even with almost 0 fuel and no payload it barely stopped . Im not sure how accurate the flight model is.

I sometimes have a guy stay here , who flew "Fred" (C-5) out of Dover, he was saying that they can fly an approach as low as 100kts, and up to about 175, and roll out in about 4,000ft...payload dependent.

36R at hamilton is i believe 7200 or so? , i cant understand why i couldn't get in 'nicely'......oh well....practice practice, Im sure you all can nail it. Getting out may be interesting, it's missing a required 1000 plus feet.

Ian that dude is back here at the end of the month, I'll bring him over....he will be impressed and may be able to add something to the archive

Thanks Trolly......decided to change the weather, so i couldnt see the end of the runway racing toward me

Reading about a Galaxy mission this morning , the C5A was power by 4X 41,000 lb thrust and required 2540 meters takeoff , was to check CHCH airport history , that stage the runway was a bit shorter than what it is today at 3250 meters , also did not mention the weights , but i would say that was the 105 tonne payload .

Marty I hope you are going to take the frame off the one you do for the comp screen

Beautiful shots ...especially the C-5/C-17 shots.

Thanks Naki....Im still in my big gray mode at the moment....just love that area 51 stuff, no so much for the flying, but they screen up really good.

As a hamiltonian I can verify that is very realistic and very familiar
Great pics marty

Those shots remind me of winter at home ...nothing like a Waikato fog.
