I've never had the pleasure of being "up close" to a C-5, but, working under the final approach
to Dobbins/Lockheed/etc... over in Marietta, about 2 miles out, I definitely get to hear and see quite a few.
I love being outside when they're shooting touch-n-go's.
Still an unbelievable sight... to see one of these big birds that low, looking as slow as they do on approach.
Anyhow... cut it out with all that "parts falling off" business. Makes me not wanna go outside when I hear the
next one (Actually, maybe I should- at least then I'll have a chance to dodge something... maybe)
