As a USN aircrewman station as NAS Jacksonville, Fl, in the early 80s, a buddy and I watched a C-5 taxi and roll down the runway. After what seemed like minutes, I shouted "He's not going to make it!! He's going too slo---" and then, the massive aircraft lifted into the sky. Truly a spectacle to see. I can only imagine a landing would be equally impressive.
