Picture of the Week 106

A beautiful illustration of the immense proportions of the USAF C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft, one of the largest aircraft in service anywhere in the world. The design first flew on 30JUN68. It has a wingspan of 222.75 feet (67.9 meters) and a maximum take off weight of 840,000 pounds (381,018 kg). Yes, there are 1/72 scale kits available from Anigrand and Titan as well as vacuforms, but with a scale wingspan of slightly over 37 inches extra display space will be needed!
