I was expecting the PMDG 744v2 reading the title Cap'n, but the Galaxy is even bigger!  I have the Area 51 C-5, but she's been holed away in a hangar for quite sometime.  All of the 13 Stewart ANG C-5's were replaced by C-17's a few years back with the C-17's still carrying the same tail stripe.  They did have one modified C-5 and that went to Martinsburg ARB in West Virginia while all the others were retired.

 

I love the C-5 and was awestruck by it as a 19 year old in the US Air Force.  Still awestruck by it today!!

Great shots of the big bird. I saw one of these take off the other day from KDAL and forgot how big they look in person.
