Lockheed C-5 Galaxy just landed right over my head. (HD Video)

Ah okay - saw a really big plane landing there on Tuesday that my coworkers and I were talking about.
 
Was that the main runway or the FedEx runway, and was the guy in the speeding truck there to make sure you weren't a terrorist?

The original runway (I'm guessing that's the main one). That's what I thought at first, but no... he was someone from Colonial Pipeline.
 
Saw that thing from the golf course. It made a few passes, didn't it? I saw it and then saw it again a few minutes later taking a pretty tight turn. Pretty cool.
 
Air Force one and planes like this use PTI (Greensboro Airport) to practice touch-and-go landings somewhat regularly - a several times per year. We are friends with the guy who used to run the tower - he said PTI is the closest airport to DC area (for air force one) that has long-runways and is not overly busy.
