The C-5M Super Galaxy uses 28 wheels and a hydraulic kneeling system that lets it load tanks and helicopters at austere airfields with no ground support infrastructure.
PIREPs are real-time weather observations from other pilots - learn how to decode the format, interpret turbulence and icing reports, and file your own.
The SR-71 Blackbird's preflight wasn't just about the aircraft - it was a full physiological preparation protocol that treated the pilot as mission-critical hardware.
The 'clear prop' call prevents prop strikes - but only when executed correctly, with a full visual scan, open window, and audible shout before every engine start.
