Air Force C-5 Returns To Oshkosh

First Time In 12 Years

Twelve years after the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy's last visit to the EAA AirVenture fly-in, the massive cargo plane from the 439th Airlift Wing at Westover Air Force Base will return to Oshkosh for 2004's 52nd annual event, scheduled for July 27-August 2, at Wittman Regional Airport.

Stretching as long as a football field and reaching as high as a six-story building, the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is the largest cargo plane in the US military. The enormous cargo compartment and in-flight refueling capability allows the C-5 to deliver troops and equipment of all shapes, size and purpose to any location worldwide on short notice.

With relatively short distance take off and landing capabilities as well as the ability to taxi on rough surfaces, the C-5 remains invaluable to the Air Force's mission and worldwide humanitarian relief efforts.

The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy will be featured at AirVenture's 2004 showcase AeroShell Square, arriving on Monday, July 26 and departing on Friday, July 30.
