The C-5 Galaxy is one of the largest aircraft in the world. At 247 feet long and over six stories high, this aircraft is the biggest and most powerful plane in the U.S. Air Force fleet. Dover Air Force Base in Delaware is home to thirty-two of these gigantic weightlifters, and they are constantly working. Mighty Planes will board a C-5M Super Galaxy for a record setting mission into a war zone documenting the entire process from the initial briefing, to crossing the Atlantic and finally the perilous descent into Bagram, Afghanistan. The flight crews need to pilot their giant aircraft through some of the most hostile airspace on the planet and execute a dangerous mid-air refueling.
