    Did they have a team of iron workers on the crew in case they need to rivet on a few more plates?
    :lol3

    The Toyota tour there is worth the time if you haven't done it.

    The Dream Lifter only carries as many Americans as the original 747 did in 1970.

    4 is definitely a crowd on the LCF. I curse those damn Boeing engineers every time I get on that loud obnoxious beast. They could of at least put a place for our luggage on the main deck. :baldy

    Oh well, it pays the bills...

    It's an interesting plane, I bet it would be fun to load.

    I always wonder how different the C-5 would have been had Boeing won the contract to build it:

    Heck, an L-2! I learned some flyin' in one of them. Nice and floaty for thermaling in the late morning before the big boomers start knocking you around. My dads was a civilianized machine with no greenhouse.

    In case you don't know it all ready, your dad "ROCKS"........But, I'm sure you know that already.....:clap

    It was one of his conversions that sent me in this direction.

    I'm personally using the Dave From Aviation parts, which reminds me, I should call him and see if the STC has been issued yet?
