At Work Testing

Postby OVERLORD_CHRIS » Sat Jul 12, 2008 4:28 pm

C-5M doing some testing with the glass flight deck and new motors.
Very very quiet compared to the old ones. They said the new max ceiling is around 45,000ft if it ever needed to go that high.

You mean you did not know? they go up and play tag, or spear birds with it, cuts down on the whole birds strike thing lol


22ft probe hooked to the equipment, gives winds speed, air direction, and other vital telemetry. That way if the on board computers are giving bad data, the probe is giving accurate data.

With the exception of the first and last pic I have the rest in 4000 x 3000 if you wanna see them clearer.

It is supposed to come back Monday, So I 'll try and get more picks, maybe it will take off from the other direction if the winds permit it.
