If need be though, many could be returned to service. Benefit of that desert storage.C140s full of AR14s?
Sorry, couldn't resist. I know you meant C141s...but they are retired from AD.
A C140 would make one hell of a jump. Probably not a very big cargo load thoughC140s full of AR14s?

How many times over you think the C5’s we have reached that? It would be a huge feat. Just saying it could be done if absolute necessity required it.Not sure what that would take. I think most reached there service life limit.

I was referring to the JetStar C140. They are a cool ass plane and a decent rideHey! C140s are a hoot! Never jumped one however

He did, named hound dog IIRC. I flew in one in the late 90s after we refit it with new interior. It used to be the KISS tour plane, but someone bought it and redid it. We were installing flat screens before flat screens were cool. And formica faced cabinets that cost more than some people’s houses*yup N777EP

The only expense to the government would be the 2 day invasion which is just the cost of munitions and fuel, labor is already being paid for in our daily expenditures keeping the Military on staff. Then you just invite the teamsters and a couple of connected guys in to run the day to day operations, its a gold mine for tourist trade.You sound very eager to spend next trilion $ for no gain to the US except for some Florida elites that would line their pockets with the money you would be spending there for a couple of decades so that Nike could have access to cheap labour.
So far regime change track record is so bad you are literally expecting a miracle.

Promoting democracy and all the other terms they use so the sheep buy the pretense of war never really has gong wrong or failed because money was made and profits were turned. How else would the government be able to take trillions of taxpayers money without having an explanation such as war.Sure !
So what went wrong in all the other adventures so far?
“We can go kick their butts, kill them, remake their societies, hopefully have other people pay for it, remake the Middle East, promote democracy, people will be safer, and we’re going to give you a tax break!”
And then reality kicks in , since the 9/11 attacks, America has poured $3.2 trillion into its wars,and after its all over do you think it accomplished anything at all???? Afghanstan will roll back time for 20y in couple of months ,Iraq? a total mess.Syria ? Libya -actual slave markets in business now. i guess you could say Teamsters took their cut running day to day operations before retiring to board positions at Raytheon,LM, Boeing.
The view from inside a can of whoop ass.....
Yes my bad 141, and don't know about tossing things out of a cargo ramp of a C-5 never been on one.C140s full of AR14s?
Sorry, couldn't resist. I know you meant C141s...but they are retired from AD.

I never worked on any of those rather I was a fighter jet maintainer / builder.
T-33, F4, F15, F-111, F16, F22, F-35.
I have bounced around on 130's and would put me to sleep instantly. (I never jumped out)
I figure some drone strikes to cripple air defense and drop a lot of arms then go home for brunch.
Note: You know I have not had a C-141 shine his landing lites in my window for a while now and C-5 seems pretty rare nowdays. I live in the flight path rite at 2 minute turn distance.
747. As capable as the 75 is, it can’t carry the shuttle.I lived between Hurlburt Field and Eglin for 35 years (minus one short and deployments). Probably saw at least one of eveyything in the inventory...including the Space Shuttle riding a 757 doggie style. Lots of time in various 130s.

C-141s are long gone from the boneyard. Once they were retired there was no longer a reason to keep them around for spare parts. I was there in 2014 for a Crash, Disabled, Damaged Aircraft Recovery (CDDAR) course and there was one that I remember seeing and it was only there for the course. They had it stuck in a mud patch and we had to get it unstuck as part of the course.
I was a little east of you in PCB at the dive school. Played with 7th grp amd ranger batt a bit. Fun times.

Yep, it’s a 747 SP. I got a chance to see one land with Columbia aboard in Huntsville one day. Most tire smoke I’ve ever seen. The 75 would not be a candidate for that job.747. As capable as the 75 is, it can’t carry the shuttle.
Sadly, many became socialists and communists.True but it also had the side effect of liberating whatever Germans survived from their evil oppressive regime.
Enlisted… 80 PercentCargo planes What do you figure for loyalty in the states army? 50%
If you are referring to those who got caught in the Soviet controlled zone, they did not have a choice. That Eastern half then became the DDR - German "Democratic" Republic - another socialist failure.Sadly, many became socialists and communists.
Old Oxnard Air Force Base?Hey! C140s are a hoot! Never jumped one however
Um, no. As a former-141 flying Crew Chief, I flew them until the last. Originally designed for 27,000 hours, I was flying on some that had over 50,000 hours. They were flat wore out. The wing boxes had severe cracks going on and most had tcto weight limits as a result. They were magnificent aircraft. But they ain't coming back.If need be though, many could be returned to service. Benefit of that desert storage.
What do you expect from an aircraft with a call sign of “Gucci”?Don't think I was ever on a C5 that didn't declare an IFE.
Satcom, including broadband sat services like Starlink, are easy to jam if you know what your doing and have a big enough dish to focus you higher radiated power vs the legit provider.I wonder if anybody smuggled starlink dishes into Cuba. I think that would be hard to jam.
I stand corrected. What’s frightening is the US no longer produces any heavy lift aircraft. C5 are old AF. C17 production line is shut down. C130 I believe is shut down as well but not 100% sure on that. If we really got into the shit with a big country like Russia or China we would have serious problems moving equipment.Um, no.

I could tell you a story about one I crewed to Sarajevo back in the day that would make your hair stand on end.

Gotta see the AC-130s doing their gun runs. That was amazing.
We dove the crash site when the blackhawk went down in 2016? That's wasnt fun.
Doc

Yes they can. We have provisions for it in our contracts. But it only pertains to moving people to staging areas. We aren’t going to be flying into active war zones in a 777.That's what commercial airlines are for. IIRC, DoD can "activate" 25 percent. Pertty sure commercial AC delivered cargo during GW I buildup.

True.... during OIF, I flew into Abu Dhabi from BWI, on a Hawaiian Airlines L-1011. Wonderful flight! Although 14 hours straight with your ass strapped to a seat isn't fun.Yes they can.
