Default Sharp LE (is it a myth?)
Speaking of horizontals on top of verticals, a couple years back on the MilForum on Compuserve we were musing about that.. C-5 vs An-124..
It seems to me the An is a better design for something that can be shot at..
The high horizontal on the C-5 adds a lot of load to the vertical all by itself. Any signifcant hole(s) can cause the whole thing to fall off, including the horizontal.. Oops!
The An-124 OTOH could probably suvive those same holes in the vertical..unless they're really lucky shots.
