Ah, much better. Massive. The C-5 that is.

Massive. The C-5 that is.

I was a passenger on a number of C-5 special missions transporting space launch rocket components. It's a great ride, particularly up in the crew area in front of the wing box. Aft of the wing box is 73 seats on the upper deck. The crew area has seating for something like 24 plus two bedrooms that sleep three each. When you're the only passenger in the crew rest area, you have plenty of room to stretch out. : >)

I've seen how they packed 6, IIRC, F-5s into the belly of a C-5.
