The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft operated by the U.S. Air Force. It provides the USAF with heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability. The C-5 is easily identified by its large size, high wings and the distinctive T-tail. It has front and rear cargo doors allowing for simultaneous loading and unloading and is capable of transporting nearly every type of U.S. Army combat equipment including six AH-64 Apaches or five Bradley Fighting Vehicles (BFV). It also has an upper deck seating area for 73 passengers.

First flown on June 30, 1968, the C-5 Galaxy entered operational service with the USAF in June 1970. Between 1968 and 1989, 131 C-5s were built by Lockheed (81 C-5A and 50 C-5B). Some early model C-5s have now been retired while others have been upgraded with new engines and modernized avionics designed to extend their service life. These upgraded C-5s are designated C-5M Super Galaxy.
