Vietnam C-5 packed with passengers
Seeing Reach 871 full of people reminded me of an incident I had read about.
A C-5 during the Vietnam war that took off with close to 1,000 people on board, seated crossways in the same way and holding on to ropes.
I think it holds the current record for a military jet carrying the most pax.
(Not thinking of the operation babylift flight - which crashed).
Does any one else know of this - I can't find it referred to on Google.
I know the civilian pax record is the Ethiopian El Al 747 flight with just over a thousand on board.
