C-5 is a damn good plane. Better than the C-17.

Can a C-5 land on an aircraft carrier?

Give me a few minutes with Photoshop and I can make a C-5 carrier-landing capable too. ;)

C-130 can actually take off and land on a carrier. The Navy tried it when they were looking for a replacement COD aircraft.

Hmmmm ... that's quite a bit of dust for a landing on a flat top. Are you sure about that photo(shop)?
