C-5 Galaxy in Pope Air Force Base

We always enjoy going to Air Show. On 6th October 2007, we visited the Air Show in the Pope Air Force Base in North Carolina. Once we walked in to the base, the first huge airplane we saw and touched was the C-5 Galaxy as shown in this picture. There are only 131 C-5 manufactured from 1969 to 1989. So, we were so lucky to see one in person. We even walked through the plane cargo area from the tail to the head.

The cargo compartment can hold a total volume of over 34 thousands cubic feet and 75 passengers. Surely, it is capable of carrying big things through the air to somewhere far away.
