Not for long! I hear they will be re-engining the C-5 fleet.

Is that still going to happen? The air Force was considering pulling out of that contract.

I completely agree! I live under the approach for (EWR) Newark, and I dont mind a bit. The lower they fly the better :lol:

Ah, 'tis music to me ears, Laddie! I worked on C-5s back when they were just youngsters and even now I go sit under the the approach end of the runway whenever I can as the Westover ARB C-5s frequent BIA as it is a TCA(or whatever the term is now) with a much lower traffic load! Lots of touch and gos! Of course, I don't have to go to the airport as I both live and work under the traffic pattern(takes some planning!)!
