I would have a serious concern for trying to combat the air flow cast off by a C-5 aircraft, penetrating that safely to land on aboard.

Beyond that, the air flow mechanics involved with the transition of exterior to interior air flow would seem to me to make this impossible.

Lift disappears when you transition from 150 to 250 mph exterior wind flow, to 5 to 10 mph interior atmosphere.

Perhaps you folks can explain away my misgivings, but I think that would be quite difficult.
