During Clinton's African walkabout, the support crews used a couple of C5As. One was parked on the old tarred runway at Entebbe and when the time came to move it, it was found the aircraft had broken through the hard surface and was well and truly stuck with the wheels half buried. Had to bring in a crew of engineers from the US to get her out.
