The aircraft is two and a half football fields long
Nice to see that reporters still don't know jack about aircraft. It's 250 feet long. Not yards. Prayers for the crew.

First take of the news item says the C-5 is two and a half football fields long.
When did we start flying aircraft carriers?

Thanks for the link to the story w photo.
Must say the writer is a little out of touch though:
"The aircraft is two and a half football fields long, and more than six stories high."
750 Feet long???????
