C-5

Lockheed military transport

The C-5 Galaxy is a massive American military transport aircraft, one of the largest in the world.

Built by Lockheed, it can carry tanks, helicopters, and other oversized cargo through its nose and tail loading doors.

The aircraft has been a workhorse of U.S. strategic airlift capability since the 1970s: A C-5 can transport an entire field hospital.
