A C5B standing takeoff out of Afghanistan. Heavy weight with a high pressure altitude and high temp make for a long takeoff with a slow rate of climb. Enjoy the sound of the General Electric TF39 engines at very high power setting of 99.8% N1. These TF39 engines are being replaced by the boring CF6 GE engines on the C5. Enjoy the sound of the first high bypass turbofan made.
