Is a C-5 comparable in size to some commercial plane?

C-5 big as 757 maybe. It's the huge mil transport that can open front and rear clamshell doors to onloiad/offload equipment.

They are hangar queens. Fly 1 day, down 2 days.

A C-5 is 247ft. long. A 747-400, by comparison, is 231ft. 10in. long.
