I'll try put some photos of the C-5M up in the photos section later this evening if you like, seeing as it is quite a rare visitor.

Look forward to the photos. I have a distant memory of seeing a C5 going into Aldergrove back in 1983...1984..? I was on a school trip on the Cave Hill, so had a decent view. In those days it was an even rarer visitor so I'm even doubting myself!

They've been in a few times over the past 40 years but are a rarity. I imagine this is the first C-5M to visit.

Hope you enjoy some of them.
