ALPHA Simulations 2005 Lockheeds massive C-5 Galaxy had its origins with the CX-HLS project of 1963, which specified a heavy transport which could carry 250,000 lbs over 3,000 miles without inflight refueling. The first C-5A flew on June 30, 1968, with the last example delivered in May, 1973. The C-5 has roll-on, roll-off capabilities, with huge clamshell doors in the rear, and a nose (visor) that lifts above the cockpit. The A versions suffered from wing cracks and many were re-winged. The C-5B incorporated the new wing design, and fifty were built with the last example being delivered in April, 1989. The massive Galaxy can carry two Abrams tanks or a single CH-47 Chinook helicopter within its hold. With fatigue concerns no longer a problem, the remaining C-5B aircraft are expected to serve until at least 2010.
