Continuing the 'it's almost too good to be true' department...
From the local paper, the Virginian-Pilot. This actually happened a few months ago at NAS Norfolk. C5 comes in about 1am, pilot is unfamiliar with the runway layout and manages to get this monstrosity stuck. Since the runway extends out over 564, the main route to NAS Norfolk, morning rush hour traffic got quite an eyeful on the way to the base. Took most of the day to get it back on track cause they had to wait for equipment from Dover AFB to move the damned thing. *L*
