Due to the nice soundtrack, they are putting them back on the C-5s and scrapping the new ones in front of the GE CEOs. At the same time, the same engines will go on the 747s too, this will help cure noise complaints for other aircrafts too :D

Yes On the back of each bogie is a "7 port valve" when the aircraft leaves the ground and the gear extends, this valve opens to stop the wheels from turning. The reason this has to happen is that the wheels are like gyroscopes at speed. Have you ever tried to move one?? Not easy... anyway so that stops the wheels from spinning. All 6 hub sensors should be stopped before "Down Rotate" valve is energized. Good question though!

Very sophisticated and massive landing gear. I used to wonder about whether any of those rear landing gears turned the opposite direction from the fore landing gear (you know like a hook & ladder fire truck). Well this video confirmed my suspicions in the affirmative. Also it’s really a commonsensical -no brainer, because otherwise there’ll be tremendously unneeded tire-scuff and stress on that whole area of the plane’s structure.

Absolutely, and cool fun fact back in the day all F.R.E.D.S's were equipped with a defunct system which allowed them to land in a cross-wind setting (forget the degrees but was quite substantial) and then actuators on all MLG and NLG steering wound "right" the plane back on center. Also had a system which would inflate and deflate the tires remotely for unimproved airfield landing via a bleed air driven air compressor also no longer in use heard the bleed air system could cause fires

MAGNIFICENT! I've got parts I machined on that C-5B when I worked at Lockheed Ga. producing them after we threw Jimmy Carter out of office and Reagan resurrected the US armed forces, as well as replaced our testicles. This is such a great machine. Pity Obama is scrapping the 70+ C-5As as he takes them out of service prematurely, when they were planned to get new wings and engines. The C-17 line is also being closed before an extra 70 can be produced to replace these. I've got some parts in those doors and bays that I machined on verticle and horizontal mills in cost section 04, 84-88. Proud to have done so. What video.

As someone who worked in the C-5 MSG-3 Inspection docks in Dover Delaware from 2007-2013... Those A's were long overdue for being taken out of service. Their MiCap was absolutely horrid and I would like to see a source on planning to give them new wings and engines because it's the first I've ever heard of it. Unless you mean the C-5M project which is well underway. All C-5Bs that are currently in service are to be converted to C-5Ms which gives them all new electrical, avionics and engines, but not wings.

@@TechnicFlow Thank you for your dedication while at Dover, I visited there as a reservist in the NDI shop in 2010. I mostly helped on the x-rays on 3d shift for the inlet cowls so I didn’t see to many other folks but there was a steady stream of sheet metal and AR technicians from McChord supporting Dover. I finished my USAF/WG career at Travis AFB and by then all of the C5-M conversations had been completed. There is still no sound comparable to the whine of four GE TF-39 turbofans, I still get goosebumps.

Keeping the main gear straight during a turn would have severely shortened the service life of the tires. It also helps shorten the turning room needed for ground maneuvers. If you pay close attention, all the gear positions rotate during the turn. Pretty cool idea.
