| Title: | C-5 Galaxy cargo deck |
| Description: | Photograph of a C-5 Galaxy aircraft on a tarmac with the nose raised to reveal the interior cargo deck. A large truck exits the interior of the plane. At both ends of the C-5 Galaxy aircraft large doors can swing open to the cargo deck, and two rows of vehicles can drive on and off at the same time. The Lockheed-Georgia C-5 Galaxy can carry 135 tons of cargo, making it the largest production aircraft built in the United States and a vital part of any military action in which large amounts of material need to be airlifted around the world. |
