I remember riding on a new C-5B in the 88-90 time frame; it had only 24 hours flying time. Too bad it's one of the B models - they're a lot newer.
I'm stationed at Charleston AFB and work with the C-17 all the time. I rode on a C-5 from Texas on my way to Turkey early this year. From what I've seen of the pics I probably would have been a goner if I had been seated where I was on that flight. Glad to hear the crew survived...who said there is no such thing as miracles.
