How many out there have riden one of these?? C-5A

one of my additional duties was building up and maintaining our mobility... meaning loading and unloading the equipment needed to get the mission accomplished for the task at hand and making sure it gets from point A to point B and not to forget anything 7,000 miles away from home!!!! and then when the tour is complete repeat backwards the task and get everything back home... then the fun part.. unpacking and cleaning up all your equipment from the environment it was in and restore it back to support the mission.. myself and another guy in our section were tasked with this job and he deployed for the first time for a tour this past year... after I was retired out...

Seen many of these in my day!!!!

When these things land at Davis Monthan Air Force Base, it looks like it's about to fall out of the sky. It's just so huge it looks like it's standing still in the air.

yes sir! It was empty at the time and i got to play some catch with a football on the way.

you'd be hard fetched to find and empty one of these now days (Flying) unless it's headed to Depot for overhaul LOL
