[DIRTYSECRET]

That’s a toughie. I’m old enough to remember the C5A boondoggle, a 747 sized cargo plane whose only advantage was the ability to open the front end to empty it’s cargo. Came in handy during the 1973 Yom Kipper war but that’s about it. The ‘whistleblower’ named Fitzgerald was transferred to a base in Thailand managing bowling alleys.

Something’s going on.

It could also take off and land on dirt. No small thing there for a military transport plane.
