I thought I heard that they are reving too few aircraft to make much of a difference.....please correct me if I am wrong.

Maybe I'm biased by several very long lay overs for undisclosed repairs and looking at acres of non-operational AC; but my translation of the announcement would be:
"We spent the money so it's a success."

Of course, the first OT&E team is lost somewhere inside the test aircraft... it could happen, those things are big. ;)

What’s the difference between the “super” galaxy and the plain old regular galaxy? Bigger?

Payload and range improvements in the C-5M enable a fully loaded aircraft to fly unrefueled for more than 5,000 miles Damn, that's impressive!

I believe they are using different engines now...it doesn’t have that signature sound anymore. I live in the flight path of a reserve training air base...I can always tell when the C5 is a comin’...

You're at an Air Force base and see three C-5 Galaxies on the flight line. Two of them are sitting on jacks. What can you deduce from this scenario?
Answer: The base only has two sets of jacks.

Big & loud. I remember them well. A couple used to land at Kelly AFB. I cannot remember if they were stationed there.
