I forgot to take some of the fuel out, so I had to go in the snow and take off, much like the plane was designed to do.

Whats your flap limit... 30 deg = civvie, 40 deg = military

So much for that airport's ILS!

Bet I can get my C-17 up and off that runway with full flaps without getting in the snow

Nice ... no matter or no idea what these guys are blabbering about
I just like the last two shots ... though number two could've used a bit more zoom.

Keep 'em coming!

Do civil companys use the galaxy? I had no idea if they do!

Its bloody massive, i know that much however.

The 2nd is a great shot!

No, never got certified for civil use, and whom ever bought it would go bankrupt trying to keep it from breaking. And like the An-124 it would need to carry a collapsible tow bar with it or it would be stuck at certain places during civil operations.  

Quite! I recall reading that it suffered cracks somewhere, in the wingboxes? Or somewhere like that? Early in its life and they all had to be 're-winged' or some of them did. Or i might have it totaly wrong and it was somthing else!

The C-5A had issues with the wing box and base of the tail. But was fixed on the C-5B's with the use of titanium and other lighter stronger metals. As soon as I find a camo paint for it, i'll post picks of that beast too.

I like the last one. Cool angle. Reminds me of a fat hawk swooping down on you.
