The C-5 Galaxy
The C-5 Galaxy has been operated by the United States Air Force since 1969. In that time, it has been used to support US military operations in all major conflicts including Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan; as well as in support of allies, such as Israel during the Yom Kippur War and NATO operations in the Gulf War. The C-5 has also been used to distribute humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and support the US Space Shuttle program run by NASA. (U.S. Air Force photo illustration/SrA. Kelly Galloway)
