Thanks, Mike. I take it you flew the beast. At the time I meet the HeavyLift crew, the Belfast was the next smaller cargo cross section to the C-5. They loved it when challenged for a domestic (US) permit by Flying Tiger (they offered 747), the Heavy Lift agent would hand the load plan to the Tiger rep and say, "see if it'll fit", where on the agent dropped the challenge and DOT gave the permit to HeavyLift.
