Lockheed
C-5 Galaxy
|
|
The
C-5 Galaxy was Lockheed's response to a 1963 U.S. Air Force
requirement for a heavy transport aircraft. Similar in layout
to the C-130 Hercules and C-141
Starlifter, the Galaxy first flew in 1968. The Galaxy
dwarfed every other aircraft then in existence.
Although Galaxies were only 12 percent of the airlift fleet used for Desert Shield, they carried 44 percent of all airlift cargo. |
