Lockheed C-5M Galaxy
Strategic airlifter
(1968-present)

TheLockheed C-5 Galaxyis a largemilitary transport aircraftoriginally designed and built byLockheed, and now maintained and upgraded by its successor,Lockheed Martin. It provides theUnited States Air Force(USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-rangestrategic airliftcapability, one that can carryoutsizedandoversized loads, including all air-certifiable cargo. The Galaxy has many similarities to its smallerLockheed C-141 Starlifterpredecessor, and the laterBoeing C-17 Globemaster III. The C-5 is among thelargestmilitary aircraftin the world.

The C-5 Galaxy's development was complicated, including significantcost overruns, and Lockheed suffered significant financial difficulties. Shortly after entering service, cracks in the wings of many aircraft were discovered and the C-5 fleet was restricted in capability until corrective work was completed. TheC-5M Super Galaxyis an upgraded version with new engines and modernized avionics designed to extend its service life beyond 2040.

The USAF has operated the C-5 since 1969. In that time, the airlifter supported US military operations in all major conflicts including Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan, as well as allied support, such as Israel during the Yom Kippur War and operations in the Gulf War. The Galaxy has also been used to distribute humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and supported the US space program.
