C-5 Galaxy Image Gallery
The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a heavy logistics military transport aircraft designed to provide world-wide massive strategic airlift. The CONUS based fleet can provide delivery of palletized, oversized and outsized cargo, as well as passengers or combat-ready troops, anywhere in the world on short notice. The aircraft can takeoff and land in relatively short distances and taxi on substandard surfaces during emergency operations. The C-5 also plays a limited role in the airdrop and special operations arenas.

Fully modernized C-5 “M” Super Galaxy aircraft, like the one shown during a test flight, will save the U.S. government $50 billion in operational and support costs through 2040. This national strategic airlift resource, with new General Electric CF6 engines and modern avionics, provides longer ranges and improved cargo carrying capacity. Lockheed Martin has received the first $23 million, long-lead contract for the production phase of the modification program. Photo by John Rossino
