I was a flight engineer on C-5s back in the late 80s. From the looks of the photo on post 35 the worst injuries would have been for anyone sitting in the area aft of the bunk rooms behind the cockpit.

Here's a MapQuest link to the area of the base and south - you can see Rt 9 running along the east edge of the base and then down south of it.

I'm all confused (not exactly new territory for me). I rode on one of these birds a couple of times as a passenger. Now that I think about it, isn't the passenger compartment up above, but behind the wings? Seems to me the loadmaster and I had quite a walk to reach the cockpit.

So if my hazy memory is correct now, then my earlier comment about the passenger compartment being split was incorrect.

I've been on the C-5. The general passenger compartment looks okay (between tail break and front break). The flight crew area is in good shape.

Where do the loadmaster(s) usually sit? Would a relief pilot be in that area of the front break?

Can you tell from the pics/video feed if the gear was deployed?

Bob,

Did your bird ever get stuck in the kneeling position?
Wow, did I really say that? (Only a C-5 FE would appreciate this). I know it used to be a problem early on in the program.

How many berths do they usually have built-in on a C5 anyway?
