Massive – USAF C-5M Super Galaxy

U.S. Marines and airmen assist in loading a UH-1Y Venom into C-5M Super Galaxy at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California, Sept. 16, 2019.
 
The C-5M was a visiting U.S. Air Force aircraft from 433rd Airlift Wing, and was here as part of a dual service training exercise.
 
The air station provides the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force and 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing with flexible deployment options.
 
The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft originally designed and built by Lockheed, and now maintained and upgraded by its successor, Lockheed Martin. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsized and oversized loads, including all air-certifiable cargo. The C-5 is among the largest military aircraft in the world.
