Runr6730 Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 C-5 landed without nose gear extended at LERT. No other details other than it appears to be an aircraft malfunction 1
Stoker Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Cue the jokes about the C-5 always breaking in great locations.

In my day (granted, that was a few decades ago), they broke everywhere they went. The joke then was that they always flew in formation...C-5 lead, C-141 wingman carrying spare parts. 1
ThreeHoler Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Might as well stop on the runway since the MOG is 1. 1
Swizzle Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Hopefully it had nothing to do with the "not un-knelt light"...ha...FRED
WeatherManC130 Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Probably a Phoenix guy from C-17s. I kid I kid 2
The-osu Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 You faked me out with that "gear up landing" title like it was some kind of barney crew. Gear malfunction is a totally different story and fred handles the nose up landings just fine.
Lord Ratner Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Wow. Able to slow it down substantially with the nose up. I think the 135 would just fall apartSent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
pcola Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Nicely done fellas!Sent from my iPad using Baseops Network Forums
The-osu Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 that was an impressive touchdown! but I'm sure the loads still complained

It is entirely different if a 135 hits a bunch of cows with the nose gear on a touch and go. 3

Haven't heard anything about the more recent one that prompted this, though.
Hermey Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Another one yesterday....third in less than a year. https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/air-force-reserve-c-5-makes-emergency-landing-at-joint-base-san-antonio-lackland
