Upper deck of the superlative Super Galaxy with the visor raised. This C-5B was fully upgraded in two phases through the Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) and the Reliability Enhancement and Re-engining Program (RERP). Fitted with the 225 kN F138-GE-100 and FADEC-III allowing for increased payload, fuel savings and use of shorter runways, it features a glass cockpit, EGPWS and enhanced nav, comm and safety systems. The C-5M from 312th Airlift Squadron based at Travis AFB took part at Yokota Friendship Festival 2024, allowing visitors to walk through the length of the gigantic aircraft.
