Thanks...I see them every week on my trips to and from the Delaware beaches. When we were kids my father would pull over as they flew over our car...we now do that with our two sons. They are so giant you can't even believe that they would have the ability to fly. I also, always say a prayer for the hardworking servicemen/women each time I pass the base.

You are mistaken! I worked on C-5A/Bs for 10 years!
A C-17s nose does not open up like the one pictured.
Search C17 and look at the pictures and you will see other
differences like the main landing gear doors (2 on each side) on a C-5 and only 1 on the C-17
