The C-5 is an enormous plane, as scarecrow said.The plane itself is being credited with the survival of the passengers this morning by former military pilots.I flew in one of these in '84 on a training mission to Japan.The Hummers were loaded first,driven into the rear.Then ,we filed in beside them and sat on either side facing the Hummers .It was a very long and uncomfortable flight, to say the least!!
