USAF loggie here, retired in 2014. Nice article and good to see a call out to the many other folks that make the air mobility machine run. I saw the C-5Cs a couple of times; weird to see so much space where the passenger compartment usually is. Also tough to tell our Space-A folks that there’s no seats for them.…

I spent five years at Dover as a C-5 Flight Engineer in the ‘90s. Had a great time on the A and B models, and have friends still working the planes, though as contractors doing training.
