Every time I have ever been through Travis AFB. The C-5s are broke.
One of the Airmen asked me if I could tell the difference between the two planes while pointing to a plane in the sky. I said no. He said easy its a C-17 because its flying.

Spot on. The only place I've seen a C-5 is on the tarmac for an airshow and I lived on or around Air Force and Army bases for over 20 years

Used to watch the C-5's coming out of Eglin in Ft. Walton fly over our condo. So damn big looked like they were sitting still. You can hear the fan blades in the turbines theyre so damn big.

See man, all these extra periods aren't necessary. You're making a declarative statement, you don't need all the rest of those periods. What kinda arse backwards English were you taught growing up, PJ?

There can't be another local website in the country that feels the need to report every plane maneuver overhead. It really is bizarre
"Just saw three fighter jets heading east, anyone know what for?!?"
"Just saw a big plane landing at the airport, what's up?"

Delivering the small arms, heavy weapons and probably two armored up/ bullet proof suburbans.

Same plane was in Vail/Eagle county airport last year when Biden was getting paid to speak in Aspen
.
They load the armored vehicles in there that SS and Vice President ride in along with supporting armorment andncommunications equipment.
.
How in the hell they get that large plane down and back out of that short strip in a mountain valley surrounded by 12-13 k foot peaks I have no idea. Plane has tremendous power and talented pilots.
