Lol… by the time people read this they’ll have landed in Toronto for the airshow up there. > [@TMAN1985](#): > > That was a C-5. It was at Niagara, It did turn south towards the North Grand Island Bridge. It was at the airport for the grand opening of the Terminal. That’s the largest military cargo aircraft. It was en route back to Tennessee. It was a Tennessee Air National Guard C-5. > > EDIT: The largest U.S. Military cargo aircraft. :bigclap: Thanks for clearing that up. ---

I wish I could tell you about the F-22’s :(. But what I can say is you might see some very soon, if you are watching. ---

Correct me if I’m wrong but are any C-5’s refitted with winglets? Just thinking of the irony that we have a air show happening on base here in Texas next month, and yet the main attraction is the Canadian Snowbirds. Always wanted to see the Blue Angel’s in action. ---

Always wanted to see the Blue Angel’s in action. Here is a cell phone picture of the C-5 taxiing out yesterday. I took it from the Tower and its kinda blurry. ---

> [@Bacon](#): > > Correct me if I’m wrong but are any C-5’s refitted with winglets? I don’t think so…or at least I haven’t read about/seen any with them. I don’t think the picture JayS posted up there was of the plane he saw, just some random google image search for a C-17. ---
