353 - I don't know if this is the case for this particular trip.....but......sometimes....reserve air force pilots and crew are the ones who do these types of trips. They need to get X amount (I don't know how many) of flight hours to keep current and such trips help them. I went to Bosnia in 2000 to visit the troops and we had reserve officers flying us both ways.

I saw it flying low over my house... recognized it right away as a C17... the C130's have props, C17 is jetted. awesome.

That is a C17 globemaster, a C5 is much larger and very very loud, you would know if you heard it. The C17 can actually take off in a shorter distance than a C130 cargo plane

Not a C-5, pretty sure that is just a C-17 Globemaster. These can land on very short and sometimes even unimproved (dirt) strips. And 325364 a C-130 is a propeller driven craft, so not even close!

Not a C5 which is one of the largest planes ever made. Our airport can barely handle the 737s. Most likely a C130 which has short strip landing ability.

I don't think it's actually flying slowly, it just appears that way because it's so large.

does the C5A airplane bring the swimming pool also? do the number of players on a water polo team merit transportation in the biggest cargo plane in the world?
