The C-5 Galaxy is so important to the USAF, etc., that allegedly pilots are only allowed to land it with auto-pilot. Would love to hear any verification of this.
“FRED” was scratched into center of some of the control yokes .... It was an interesting plane to be around and support. Supported and witnessed a max gross weight departure from Amarillo airport during a torrential downpour enroute to Tehran via a half dozen tanker appointments with choppers and drones for the Shah.
yes, I noted the retirement -- but the C-5 AINT IT.
In addition to being a new aircraft the C-130J will bring greater performance to the job. The C-130J can fly up to ten percent farther than a C-130T, and carry more than fifty percent more cargo by weight.
