I flew in a C-5A Galaxy once from Turkey to Spain. You had to climb a ladder from the cargo deck up to the passenger seating. The seats all faced rearward. I was bumped off of a C-130 going the same way and arrived in Spain almost an hour before the C-130.
I was once in a C-130 that lost air pressure and another one that had an engine stop mid-flight. I have flown enough.

I was a pilot in the Air Force for 33 years, first in the C-141 and the last 24 years in the C-5.
It deserves every bit of its good and bad reputation. Like an Auto Mag with wings!

I chuckled at that Bruce. The dreaded three engine landing! Jumped from 130s and 141s in Airborne and Ranger school. One Blackhawk jump into Dehlonega, Ga for mountain phase of Ranger school. Nothing like corkscrewing down in a 130, into Baghdad as a precaution against AA threats. I swear all 130 pilots think they are flying fighters!! Whatever branch, those that served, thank you brothers.

Served a tour in Lajes Field Azores, stories abound working on those birds. There in 77-78, Did you happen to fly through?

All cool, now I think I might have to be in the market for a AM III so I can get one of those wrenches, the wife will not be happy.

Buy the wrench first. That then becomes the impetus for buying the gun to go with it.
I bought a Wilson Combat rear sight for the new Colt Python a couple of years ago. Finally got the Python a few weeks ago, because I had the sight for it already. 😁
