As a C-5 flyer i can assure you that aircraft is incapable of this stupidity. Even at its lightest possible weights of @500,000 lbs, all 4 TF-39 engines only produce roughly 170,000 lbs of thrust, you do the math on that thrust to weight ratio.......[X(]

Not in grey finishing but the old MAC scheme.
then was probably C5A, I was looking with impressed the giant block taxing down n roaring those TFs to rotate end of runway...crawling to gain height even after unloading all stuffs.
watching this video with disbelieve...
I am equal impressed by this video edition whoever he or she is..
