I can confirm the C-5 doesn't have tailplane anti-ice, or wing anti-ice for that matter. Just the engines and inlet are anti-iced. I've 4-four transition flights in winter New England in ice and not gotten enough ice to chill a bottle of beer. It's hard to get the TAT below 0 degrees and have sufficient moisture to make significant ice.
