As a transporter I loaded an awful lot of these. Slide 37, is the one that we lost during Desert Storm. I was the Squadron Ops Officer at Ramstein at the time and my squadron was responsible for loading the cargo and passengers on this plane.

Great aircraft. While in college, 64-68, had an aeronautical engineering student friend who was in a co-op program with Lockheed. He worked on various C-5 components during his stints at Lockheed.

Good ol' "FRED" (F*cking Ridiculous Economic Disaster) as its crews affectionately call it.

I recall an incident involving support for a USAF Thunderbird airshow. The Thunderbird team wanted to place the birds in a secure hanger prior to the airshow so the Jolly Green's (Pararescue) were kicked out and the Thunderbirds moved in. A couple of days after the airshow we received a nasty letter from the Thunderbird commander who was not pleased that their aircraft had been modified with Jolly Green Giant logos.
