Back in the '70s we had a C5 come into Davis-Monthan. I was in SAC security at the time and they pulled us up to secure that sucker while it was on the ground. It was an empty plane but, we had to hump it due to its sheer cost...and we had the clearance higher than LE or flight line security. It took a long time to walk from nose to wingtip, to tail, to wingtip, to nose.

When I saw that beast in the air I thought it would be hitting the active in minutes. Wrong! It was still way out. Hell it was a blimp with wings...LOL!
