Every summer these planes are on view for walk arounds when the Blue Angels come to Seattle. They always park them at the Museum of Flight located on KBFI.

PDX has an Oregon Air National Guard base on site. I've seen C-5s go out of there.

Great old bird. Some years back my Dad had a minor heart attack while on vacation in Reno. I was delegated to go down and fetch him home from the hospital there. Flew back from RNO to SEA in one of these. Because he had to be boarded/deboarded in a wheelchair we got an automatic upgrade to First Class. We were the only ones in that part of the plane and I remember it was the quietest ride I ever had before or since.

These guys are good. Saw them during a visit to Vancouver Island a few years ago. They did their show over Nanaimo Harbour,

Interesting idea those Soviets had. Put a glass nose on a cargo plane, install a bombsight and Presto you have a long range bomber. Don't know if they ever actually did that.

Great shot! Love those Thunderbirds. Last saw a C-5 Galaxy at McChord Field (KTCM) about 5 years ago when it did a flyby just after the Thunderbirds finished up.
