Terry,

 

Sorry, not much to tell. The payload travels in a specially modified C-5 Galaxy called the C5-C. There are only two of them, initially created by accident when each suffered an aux power unit fire that burned up the passenger compartments.  They were rebuilt without the compartments and with different doors that allow for much larger payloads than a regular C-5. 

 

The satellite payload travels in a giant can that clears the inside of the cargo box by inches. It takes about six hours to load it and requires a bunch of specialized equipment.  A second, regular C-5 is needed to carry that equipment. 

 

A pair of C-5s had travelled to Florida to drop off a satellite and the regular one then went home.  It takes a couple of days to get the loaded can to a hangar and unload it, then another couple of days to return it to the C-5C and load it on the plane for its return journey. I flew out there Saturday as the empty can had been loaded in the C-model and it and the equipment had to then return to California. So I flew a regular C-5 out there empty, loaded the loading equipment, and then the two airplanes returned to California.  We offloaded our trash and our trash was used it offload their trash, then we all went home.

 

Just another day in the office. :)

 

Mike
