I was born and raised in Wilmington, and I’d drive by Dover AFB on the way to the beach many summers. It’s just amazing watching those C-5s almost hover on approach to landing. Their stall speed must be absurdly slow.

It's an optical illusion. They are just so big, they seem slow.

Not slow enough.
