I remember seeing a C-5 take off from Los Alamitos once when visiting at my late in-law's who lived in Rossmoor. I'd gone to pickup a pizza from the shopping center that was right at the end of the runway.
Unreal seeing a plane THAT big going THAT slowly and still staying in the air, probably less than 300 feet over head. Then it banked left and went out towards the ocean over the Navel Weapons Station.
Loud too, as they really don't care about that sort of thing on military planes.
