An A-10 is massive?

Wait until the see F-15, SR-71, RC-135, B-52, KC-10, C-17 and especially the largest plane, Fat Albert (C-5).

If it appeared in your rear view mirror as you are driving along the highway, it would be massive.

A-10s are not massive. Now a C-5 bearing down on you, THAT’S MASSIVE!

As far as airplanes go, No the A-10 is not massive. It is a single seater. It is by a lot of measures a great airplane. My favorite.

"Fat Albert" is the C-130T Hercules used by the Navy Blue Angels.

The Air Force's C-5 Galaxy is the largest U.S. military aircraft.

Flew on a Fat Albert on my way to Saudi during the Gulf War. Shoved 2 platoons of Marines PLUS 3 CH-53’s in that bugger.

Um, “Fat Albert” is a US Marine C-130 transport used by the Blue Angels support teams.
