This C-5 served with the 68th Alrlift Squadron/433rd Airlift Wing at Lackland AFB, TX before being retired to AMARG during Feb. 2013 where it is now preserved on Celebrity Row.

As the Air Force’s largest and only strategic airlifter, the C-5 Galaxy can carry more cargo farther distances than any other aircraft. With a payload of six Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPs) or up to five helicopters, the C-5 can haul twice as much cargo as any other airlifter.
