@ai6yr yes its huge for an airliner, but having gone to the local Guard airbase to welcome home a friend in reserves whose gear (air mobile mainframe computer for field army rear HQ) traveled in a C-5a, so so does he, those are HUGE.
@CassandraVert@ai6yr Oh Yeah. One office was just off the end of ANG co-tenant airfield runway. (Same one I saw the C5a on.) Week before airshow, I had to disable the motion sensor on my van in the parking lot, pressure wave onto big flat roof set it bouncing.
@ai6yr the static display at the California Capital Airshow usually has one of those big ole transport planes. It's like you could fit 3-4 *other* planes inside of it.
@ai6yr In 2006 I was at an airport in southwest France, and a test A380 pulled up to the runway. Everyone in the airport, even the employees, stopped and watched in awe as it took off.
