How Big is C-5 Super Galaxy?

The C-5M Super Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft, and its size is impressive. Here are some key dimensions:

* Length: 247 feet 1 inch (75.3 meters)

* Wingspan: 222 feet 9 inches (67.9 meters)

* Height: 59 feet 1 inch (18.0 meters)

* Maximum takeoff weight: approximately 715,000 pounds (324,000 kg)

* Payload capacity: up to 281,000 pounds (127,500 kg)

To put that into perspective, the C-5M Super Galaxy is roughly the same length as a standard American football field (300 feet) and has a wingspan wider than a typical three-story building.

It's worth noting that the C-5M Super Galaxy is one of the largest and heaviest military aircraft in the world, with a maximum takeoff weight equivalent to about 200 cars or 15 elephants!

Sitting on the runway, brakes locked, and engines floored. Bitch is vibrating and rocking all over hell.

The fuck are we doing?

HHH!!!

The fuck is that?

We are Hot, Heavy, and we have to take off real Hard!

C-5 Globe Masters often have to take off in the morning when the air is cooler and more dense. Another consideration is runway length. They need a big enough runway to lift its ass over the fence at the end. They have also cracked a few tails during high turbulence.
