The C5 towbar looks remarkably like a yacht trailer, minus the hull supports. It's about 40 foot long, 15 foot wide, triangular in shape, and is quite simply enormous.
A serious overkill for any lesser sized a/c!

Hi Wycombe
Got the power checks down to between 2-4 mins now so as not to peeve ATC too much. Zap donks a lot more reliable these days..
Although much surprised how big C5 towbar is. 124 towbar single length approx 7m length and weighs approx 2500kg.

".........considered the largest airplane in the free world........"
Cant you yanks take your hand off it for just a second!
You werent the 1st democracy and you arent the largest one either, in fact with your last election of GWB some would argue that you are not much of a democracy at all.
Last I heard the Dream was/is the 'largest' airplane and Russia is in the free world.......then we can argue largest in terms of length, weight or wingspan??
I suggest you all read "Stupid White Men and Other Excuses for the State of the Nation"
PS: Great to see the General supporting the pilots decision to stop (esp considering they must have known they'd close the airport down for a while). About time we saw the 'big cheeses' supporting the guys/gals at the coal face.
