Product Details

---

Also known as the Òzero-one-four,Ó the C-5A Galaxy was an outsized-cargo military transport aircraft that provides inter-theater airlift support. It is considered one of the largest aircraft in the world, but it has the capability to take off and land in relatively short distances. The C-5A Galaxy holds the responsibility of carrying and transporting nearly all of the US Army's combat equipment, even carrying the 74-ton mobile scissors bridge. It is famous for being able to carry the heaviest of cargo at jet speeds. This military transport aircraft is self-sufficient, equipped with a sophisticated communications system and triple inertial navigations system. This enables the C-5A Galaxy to operate even without the assistance of ground-based navigational aids.

This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as the original and is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen. Perfect as a gift for any aviation enthusiast and history buff!
